In the French-influenced city of Ho Chi Minh, it is easy to spot luxurious brand stores for a shopping splurge. You can track down all Gucci, Versace, Kenzo and Valentino at the Diamond Plaza in District 1, Vincom Center in Dong Khoi Street and Takashimaya Mall. Hanoi doesn’t disappoint when it comes to luxury shopping. Premium brands like Tiffany & Co and Skymond Luxury flash their extravagant diamonds in the streets of Hanoi.
Vietnam’s classy stores which are maestros in elegant women’s dresses are upmarket brands like Elpis Clothing, White Plan, Larmes and Cici in Ho Chi Minh and Linh Bui and Cevonni in Hanoi.
While shopping in Vietnam, you cannot overlook the local designers who are all about sustainability and following artistic values. A beautiful example is the intricately carved dragon shoes made from locally purchased jackfruit wood. This is an iconic product from the Fashion For Freedom store in Hue. Another proud Vietnamese brand is Metiseko in Ho Chi Minh. All its outfits are made of pure silk fabric from Bao Loc and Lam Dong.
