About Us
Born out of a passion for clothes combined with a lack of space in Hong Kong, PAKT has created an innovative, integrated, online-to-offline solution for clothing management. Driven by the belief that the Smart WardrobeTM is the wardrobe of the future, PAKT was established not only to store and care for clothes but to address the full cycle of clothing ownership.
PAKT is in the lifestyle and property tech sectors with a vision to revolutionise the way people relate to their clothes and wardrobe. Our plans go far beyond our current services and will include a significant and exciting technology component.
Although still small, we have successfully completed our first round of funding and are now building our team to drive local, regional and eventually global expansion.
