So I popped into the Bottega Veneta store in the Landmark building in Central Hong Kong a few weeks ago. I was returning from a business appointment and a stop in to pick up a few shirts from Jantzen. I was dressed in business casual wear - slacks, button-up shirt, no tie, but a well-tailored Isaia blazer and pocket square. I was carrying a laptop case over my shoulder and a small Jantzen bag with 4 shirts for my girlfriend in it.
From the minute I walked into the store, I noticed I was being watched like a hawk. I asked to see a wallet and they weren't keen on giving it to me to look at. Finally one of their employees took my Jantzen bag from my hands and said they would look after it for me, though nobody mentioned my laptop case. Only after my Jantzen bag had been taken from me was anyone really willing to let me finger any goods.
It's always fun to be made out as a shoplifter. Assholes.
