Hong Kong-based brand GROCERY has collaborated with One Cool Film Production to release limited-edition tees inspired by the record-breaking movie “Back to the Past.”
The action drama starring Louis Koo premiered on New Year’s Eve, bringing much-needed cheer to the Hong Kong box office as it grossed a record-breaking HK$11.54 million on its opening day.
The film is a sequel to the beloved 2001 TVB series “A Step Into the Past,” which follows Hong Siu-lung, a police officer sent back in time to document the coronation of Qin Shi Huang, China’s first emperor. When the experiment goes awry, he lands three years earlier than planned in the Warring States period, forcing him to become entangled with the very people he was meant to observe—setting off a series of adventures as he struggles to return home without altering history.
The film picks up twenty years later, where Hong’s quiet life is disrupted by another 21st-century man on a mission—and he’s once again forced to make sure history isn’t rewritten.
To celebrate the release of this iconic local film, the GROCERY x Back to the Pasttee collection features two designs in both black and white colors that echo the movie’s themes.
One shirt reimagines GROCERY’s classic TEE-001 Invoice, while another draws inspiration from the iconic image of Shaolong in ancient times—updated with a modern T-shirt and finished with the film’s official traditional language logo printed on the back. The remaining designs take a more understated approach, featuring subtle graphics with the GROCERY logo on the front and the movie’s official traditional language logo at the back.
The shirts are priced at HK$420 and are available for pre-order on their official website.
