Text by MOOK Scenic Spots Family Travel Life Network Editorial Department
After the 2015 film Kingsman: The Secret Service was released in Taiwan, its brisk pace and charming gentlemanly style won widespread acclaim, also sparking deeper imagination about "spies." In Hong Kong's Central district, a bar brimming with spy agency vibes — "Foxglove" — opened its doors. Stepping inside, one might think they've entered a high-end umbrella boutique, with exquisitely arranged umbrellas neatly displayed in brass cases, exuding an air of classic luxury everywhere.

"Foxglove" was created by the design team NC Design & Architecture, reminiscent of the tailor shop scenes from the Kingsman movie.NC Design & Architecture alsodeliberately designed the entrance of "Foxglove" to resemble an umbrella shop. The meticulously crafted space and the tactile charm of classic handmade century-old umbrellas successfully create a low-key, luxurious, and mysterious ambiance, while also stirring up customers' expectations. Here, every space and mechanism is an extension of the mysterious and gentlemanly atmosphere. After passing by display cabinets made of brass, to enter the restaurant, you must grip the fox-head-shaped umbrella handle by the counter — only then will the door to the restaurant open. It's quite an amusing touch.
