We all know that HCMc is a crazy city with a lot of vehicles, people, buildings and street food.... many things to do so make sure that you're not gonna miss one of the best things there is shopping, you should never go to Ben Thanh market for shopping unless you just lazy and accept to pay more money for you stuff, i mean Ben Thanh is good place for looking around but for shopping? no! As you know that vietnamese product is really good, but when they sell out of country, the price is not cheap, but if it just in local, so here you have chance for shopping with cheap price.
Well i don't mean that you should buy world brands here, in fact you shouldn't but what you should shop is local brands, they are just supper cheap ( not Elise and Ivy moda i show you below) and the quality is really good also. Don't get me wrong, local brands not stuff on some streets. So here is some brands that i can recomend for you:
For woman:
- Clothes:
+ Elise, Ivy Moda: These shop are really good stuff main for adult and kid but not teenager, you can compare there services and quality with world brands but the price just only a half of bigg brand and they USUALLY have promotion, orginal price for a pants or a shirt from 39usd . What you need to know is they are made from Vietnam so the size is also different means smaller than US size and the biggest size is XL ( like L in the US). What you need to do is searching their branch in google map, then you can find your losest brand. Especially for Elise, they usually have great collection for dressing up for event which is i really recomend if you need a fancy dress. but the point is they usually have collection but just in a short time so if you just need clothes for gift or just wearing so you can pass these shop.Because they are the bigest Vietnamese brands so i want to show you guys.
+ The blue: This brand for man and also woman, they are really good if you just want to buy some basic clothes to wear, you don't have to bargain what mean you always need to do when you buy some stuff that don't have receipt. the quality is not supper good but good, personally H&M can't compare with this brand. The price for this is supper cheap to affordable, maybe 5 usd for a T-shirt, ofcause it's depend on which line that you buy nut it's just cheap.
+ Nguyen Trai street- shopping street: Here you can find a lot of trendy models, remember there is a lot! the price is crazy cheap, a pant around 7 usd or a top just from 6 usd for all of the styles like sexy, basic or street style... you can also find a lot of shoes and hand bag here with really good looking just from 7 usd but the quality is not super good for using for long time. Su Su and Song Nhac are the shops that i think the best there, the weak points of these shop is they dont have many sizes or rarely have if your size is not bigger than M (us size) you do not have to worry about that. Just type their brands in google map, so then you can find them. But remember that they sell chinese products there, so quality maybe like H&M, some are better but some are worse. if you buy stuff on this street which do not have a showroom, you must ask the price before you buy if they don't have price on the products.
- Bags and Shoes:
+ In Vietnam, the bigest brands with affordabla and high quality for that is Vascara and Juno. For Vascara, you can buy bags i do not recomend shoes becuase you can find shoes with better price in Juno and they have got many feedback that their shoes are not really comfortable but ofcause not all of them, a bag from Vascara around 33usd and shoes from 21usd. their style is more for adult who already working. For Juno, there stuff is really affordable or maybe cheap in my opinion but good quality, you can find many good stuff there, their style for all except kid. You know, when i say local brands, maybe you can understand that is a real brand like Zara or bigger brand,... but just sell in local.
+ Faya is also one of a handbag shop that you should check it out if you are a person who love fashion and mixing clothes. in this shop you can find a lot of style which is reall cool and nice with super cheap price from 9usd, the quality is not super cheap butperfect for trendy stuff.
For man i can recomend a really good shop Ya with a lot of branch in HCMc they include: t-shirt, shirt, cap... everything for man, especially shoes which is the best there with warranty is 1 year but the price is just just just cheap from 10usd and they are also located on Nguyen Trai street and the whole Vietnam so you just have to search in google map for losest place for you. But one point is thier size is just for asian for if you're smaller than L, so that woukd not be a problems.
So i really hope you can enjoy your trip and have many stuff like a give from Vietnam, love you guys so much, we will be back soon with exploring Vietnam!
