WHAT TO SHOPPING IN THIS COUNTRY!!

HANDICRAFTS

Ho Chi Minh City is truly a mecca for shopping enthusiasts!  Everything from handicrafts to imitation brand name clothes and shoes are available at a fraction of what it would cost overseas!  As tourism has increased over time in Ho Chi Minh City, so has the establishment of trendy boutiques that cater to the tourist crowd.  However, you can find the same treasures within the many shopping areas throughout the city.  Our aim in this post is to guide you in your shopping adventures and help you find what you’re looking for at bargain prices!

SHOES!!

Ho Chi Minh City seems to have a specific street for everything, and shoes are no exception.  In fact, the city has two streets dedicated entirely to shoes!  As is the case with clothes, you will find great imitations of brand name shoes.  Be careful with the quality of these imitations as the heel or main body of the shoe may show wear and tear very quickly.

Ly Chinh Thang street is lined with shoe shops which carry shoes in a variety of sizes and styles.  The other shoe street is just outside of Ben Thanh Market and one block away from Le Loi street.  The shops on this street have more sports shoes and sandals whereas the shops on Ly Chinh Thang street carry more fashion shoes.

HANDBAGS AND LUGGAGE

If you need to buy luggage to transport your newly purchased goods, visit Le Lai street between New World Hotel and Ben Thanh Market.  You will see an entire street of luggage shops with the most well known brands such as North Face, Samsonite, and more!  Alternatively, if you need a fashionable handbag or wallet, visit Saigon Square or Binh Tay Market in Cho Lon.  If you plan on using the handbag around the city, make sure the straps are secure enough so that you are not a victim of petty theft.
