While visiting Vancouver, BC, I stopped by 輔行精品 | A Vancouver Chinatown Foundation Initiative , a wonderful little gift shop in historic Chinatown with a much bigger mission.
Foo Hung Curios is an initiative of the Vancouver Chinatown Foundation, located inside the 華埠掌故 | A Vancouver Chinatown Foundation Initiative. The shop celebrates Asian and Asian Canadian culture through thoughtfully curated jewelry, art, stationery, home goods, and gifts, while supporting independent Asian Canadian artists and designers.
The shop’s name honors the original Foo Hung Company, established in Vancouver’s Chinatown in 1921.
And the best part? 100% of the shop’s proceeds support the Chinatown Storytelling Centre, which works to preserve Chinese Canadian history, share community stories, and celebrate the cultural heritage of Vancouver’s Chinatown.
Also, a special shoutout to I'll Know It When I See It™ | Goodies + Gifts | Asian-inspired for their wonderfully snarky, Asian-inspired stationery and gifts!
As a fellow small gift shop owner and someone passionate about preserving Chinatown communities, I really love what they’re doing.
📍 168 E Pender St, Vancouver, BC
Support independent artists, cultural preservation, and the communities keeping these stories alive. ❤️
