Origins spent 20 years in Hong Kong — then the last 2 counters closed in one day

Origins, the natural skincare brand owned by Estée Lauder Companies, closed its last two physical counters in Hong Kong on June 30, 2026. The brand had been present in Hong Kong for approximately two decades, selling through department store counters. After June 30, Origins became an online-only brand in Hong Kong, with no physical retail presence.

The Hong Kong exit was part of a broader Estée Lauder retail restructuring across Asia. Origins had also closed all its Taiwan department store counters by May 31, 2026, and shut its Taiwan brand website on July 24, 2026. The same day, sister brand Clinique also terminated its Taiwan online store. The group was consolidating its retail footprint in markets where department store economics had become unfavourable.

Origins had already significantly reduced its Hong Kong presence before the final closure. The brand had been operating multiple counters across the territory but had gradually shrunk to just two remaining locations — one at FACESSS in Harbour City, Tsim Sha Tsui, and one at BEAUTY AVENUE in Bank Centre, Mong Kok. When those closed, Origins' two-decade Hong Kong retail run was over.
