I'm looking to buy a white linen pocket square but I can't seem to find any store that doesn't sell them for >$100. Does anyone have any recommendations, preferably in the TST or MK area?

What's a pocket square?
Aha. Google is my friend - apparently he means a cloth handkerchief for anyone else similarly bemused. Have you tried Marks and Spencer ? Or indeed any of the markets in the TST Mongkok area (ladies market mongkok, night market temple st jordon etc - I'm pretty sure I have seen them there too for a few dollars).

Haven't tried M&S yet, but I don't have a good feeling about the price.
I've been to the ladies market and I've only seen silk ones (which are bundled with matching ties and matching cufflinks, yuck). I haven't been to the temple st. night market, but I'll try that!
Well you can get packs of 10 for GBP9.50 at M&S in the UK, so I'd be surprised if they were more than HK$200 here, so $20 each.
But locally in the markets I'd be amazed if they couldn't be had for HK$5 or less.
Go to anyone one of HK tailors and ask them maybe?
