Angela Cheng-Matsuzawa reveals what she’s splurging on this week—from recycled nylon Prada phone cases to Allbirds sustainable sneakers
When Tatler met Angela Cheng-Matsuzawa earlier this year, her energy and drive were palpable. She spoke a mile-a-minute about her twin teenage boys; her husband Masaaki Matsuzawa, a former NBA and Goldman Sachs executive and current president of software group Vobile; her days living in the US, and her passion for sustainability.
In 2010, Cheng-Matsuzawa co-created the juice cleanse company Punch Detox, inspired by her own health and fitness journey after giving birth to her sons. However, she has dedicated the past three years to advocating for environmental sustainability in Hong Kong. In 2018, she and ten prominent Hong Kong women founded Eco Drive HK, a non-profit dedicated to eliminating society’s reliance on single-use plastic and creating awareness around more conscious consumption habits through educational programmes.
As a result, when Cheng-Matsuzawa buys new things, she buys consciously. The eco-warrior tells Tatler what she currently has her eye on—from eco-friendly sneakers to recycled phone cases.

“Everyone needs a little art in their lives and I have been following ceramic artist Stephanie Shih, who lives in Brooklyn, for a while. She does ceramic sculptures of beloved Asian grocery items, and I’m totally obsessed with this bottle of Maggi sauce.”
