I first know these cartographic products from the Facebook's page, Cool Hunting, and a local travel magazine. Therefore I went to a local shop to find but they were out of stock (well, I didn't think they are so popular as Hong Kong people seem not really interested in map collecting, I just think the shop had few stock only).
Information copied from Palomar's website:
