Get your copy of the Hong Kong Shop Cats 2023 desktop calendar, a phenomenon made famous by Marcel Heijnen's photo book of the same name and now in its 8th edition, now. The calendar features brand new, previously unpublished photographs of Hong Kong Shop Cats - the little emperors of their retail kingdoms.
The calendars will arrive in store at the end of September.
When photographer Marcel Heijnen moved to the city he was immediately drawn to these photogenic mouse-catchers, and this series is the charming result and has been taking the world by storm.
While the cats are undoubtedly the furry celebrities of his photographs, each shot delivers an insightful context to Hong Kong’s busy trades. From dried fish and rice to paper offerings, the shots’ backgrounds present local culture in all its cramped and colourful chaos.
