Behind the Scenes: Made in Chinatown x Wo Hop
Opened in 1938, Wo Hop is the second oldest restaurant in Chinatown. Its second location, Wo Hop Next Door, opened in 1976. Together, they form a vital part of Chinatown, serving Chinese American classics to residents and tourists alike.
The collection uses the notorious “Chinese font,” which gained traction in the 19th century when Chinese immigrants started opening Chinese restaurants. Read more about Jasco Chan’s design inspiration.
