Responsibility
Mission

Permanent Resident's aim is to reduce waste by keeping more home decoration items out of landfills. We wish to lessen Hong Kong's reliance on fast furniture and built-in furniture - which is challenging to move and resell. We provide access to upcycled and preowned items, as well as our own sustainably-made, high quality options. While we do carry new items on our website, our selection is curated to strike the perfect balance of luxury and longevity.

Co-Founders
Who We Are

We have been friends for fifteen years through two cities - first New York and now Hong Kong. We developed Permanent Resident to both ease the process of decorating a home in our adopted city and to bring our made-in-Asia designs to the global market. We combined Cinda's extensive fashion retail background with Lucia's experience in lifestyle e-commerce, personal styling, and interior decoration to create the shopping experience we couldn't find but had to have.
