A long-time regular and friend of Roganic Hong Kong, Bettie fell in love with the food and the brand’s efforts in sustainability, from responsible food sourcing to the use of repurposed materials across the restaurant. Bettie shares a similar ethos in her tailoring business, which stems from her study of sustainable fashion and its various applied techniques at University of the Arts London. The common interest and beliefs in sustainability flourished into a partnership, when the Roganic team sought out advice for upcoming sustainable fashion trends in suit.
Bettie naturally selected olive green to be the main colour scheme across the uniforms, a sophisticated contrast against the off-white colour 100% cotton shirts. Tops are paired with cotton and recycled polyester pants fastened with horn buttons, designed to be as breathable as possible for Hong Kong’s humid weather. In elegant contrast to the off-white shirts, the new suit jackets feature a contemporary design in olive green tones, while the lining features an original kaleidoscopic design and the motif (“Evergreen Soul”) inspired by the tree pattern found at Roganic Hong Kong’s entrance, Bettie also express the healing power of nature into her design The manager’s blazer, created with environment safety-certified materials from the UK based mills, a Eco-Traveller Series, is composed of 100% biodegradable wool.
About Roganic:
Chef and restaurateur Simon Rogan opened Roganic Hong Kong in the heart of Causeway Bay in February 2019. The restaurant sits alongside Aulis, Simon’s award winning 10-seater chef’s table, and also features multifunctional private dining rooms, a kitchen counter and Roganic’s destination bar featuring seasonal cocktails.
With a focus on local and sustainable ingredients, Roganic Hong Kong presents a city-centric take on a farm-to-table dining experience and carries over elements of Simon’s three-Michelin-starred L’Enclume, with dishes that adapt to the local palate in new and exciting ways.
As with all of Simon’s restaurants, there is ultimate commitment to provenance and traceability of the ingredients, and each dish utilises produce sourced from local, organic farms in the New Territories. In 2020 Roganic Hong Kong was awarded a Michelin star, less than ten months after opening. The restaurant was recognised with the newly introduced Michelin Green Star, awarded by Michelin Guide Hong Kong Macau 2021 and 2022. Simon is the only international chef who currently holds this new award across two restaurants (Roganic Hong Kong and L’Enclume in Cartmel, UK).
