Hong Kong’s Richest Woman Josephine Lau (Gambi) Stuns at Art Basel — Custom Hermès Bag Worth Millions Steals the Spotlight

(Hong Kong, March 29) Joseph Lau’s wife, Chan Hoi Wan (Gambi), widely regarded as Hong Kong’s richest woman, has once again captured public attention. With an estimated net worth of HKD 70 billion, her understated yet refined style continues to turn heads—most recently at Art Basel Hong Kong.

Appearing in a brown blazer paired with wide-leg trousers, Gambi exuded effortless elegance. However, the true highlight of her look was a rare, one-of-a-kind handbag from Hermès.

The bag, a customized Hermès Constance, features a unique penguin motif, blending playfulness with high luxury. Reportedly part of Hermès’ top-tier VIP bespoke service, the piece is the only one of its kind globally and is valued at over HKD 1 million.

Hermès’ bespoke program allows elite clients to fully customize their bags—from design and leather selection to color, hardware, and stitching details. Each piece undergoes evaluation at the Paris headquarters and is guaranteed to be globally unique.

Gambi is a well-known Hermès enthusiast. She has previously showcased a Hermès Faubourg Birkin Bag, valued at over HKD 2 million. Inspired by the Paris flagship store façade, this limited-edition “house-shaped” Birkin features intricate craftsmanship using crocodile and calf leather. It is said that clients must spend over HKD 10 million with Hermès to qualify for such exclusive purchases.
