Silk: For silk fabric or silk garment, you can get it in Chinese emporium like
'Chinese Arts and Craft' and 'Chinese Resources'.
Embroidery: you can get it from many Chinese emporium in HK. If you
have particular Chinese characters you want, you may even order one from the
embroidery shops at Shanghai Street in Mongkok or in
Wanchai. This
is the kind of shop which does traditional Chinese wedding dresses and
accessories so commonly people order a piece of red silk with dragon and
phoenix and with the couples' name embroidered. Then the couple will put
it on the reception desk on the wedding night for guests to sign. The
shop charges per Chinese character and for the silk.
If you want antique or old looking ones, you can try Hollywood road.
Besides the shops on the main road, towards the end of Hollywood road, you will
find a more market like area. There are kiosks which look as though they
are selling their great grandma's collections.
There are also shops in Stanley market that sells linen embroidery clothes
and table cloths.
