This minimal double sided towel features fishing lines.
Editors' notes:
From fishing village to city of neon lights, fishing has traditionally played an important role in Hong Kong's growth. Fishermen use sampans and fishing lines to catch the seafood that makes up a large part of the Cantonese cuisine. With commercialisation, the industry is fading as many fishermen move into other industries to support their families.
