I've noticed occasionally that the expensive (and Very nice) clothes sold in American stores have the tag listed as "Made in Vietnam." Does anyone know of any shopping stores in Saigon that sells clothes similar to those sold in America but cheaper? I'd assume it would be cheaper since it's not shipped across the world and Vietnam wouldn't jack up the prices to American's money standards.

i been to Hanoi and Saigon and their prices are cheaper, for example a pair of really nice jeans is around 250,000VND which is around 20USD. did pay attention to the name of the stores though. nowadays almost everything are made in VN or China b/c the labor are much cheaper there. some are the brands are BEBE, BCBG, GUESS, and so on...

Everybody know that when you go back to VN you make sure to get a few tailor-made suits, coats, pants, shirts, etc... They are the best and very cheap there. And make sure your family there have your measurement also... just in case you need to get more and you are not there.

do you know of the brand Da-Nang? that's vietnamese right? or are they just using the name out of randomness...

my cousin says there's a gap in saigon, but i didn't see ittt

In Saigon, you can find those clothes in the big malls as "diamond plazza", "parkson" and I think that it's cheaper. I bought a levis' jean
50 € and it cost in France 90 €. It's expansive for the vietnamese but cheap for us =)

i got 2 suits tailor made in Saigon, very nice quality and well made...

yeah i do know the brand DA-NANG but don't know too much about the company's history. i'm too lazy to do research but they are in Macy and such...

If you look closely on the tag of an GAP black zip up sweater like the one i have than it should indicate it was made in Vietname. The other day i took a closer look at my GAP pants and it shows that it was made in Cambodia and we all know Cambodia enforce child labor. So, i'm thinking about stop buying from GAP and especially it's pants.

Not sure who design it but I know that its a mix of Vietnamese-french colonial time fashion with the current Western style. Its goal is to mix Asian style with Western.

gap, old navy, banana republic, etc all have sweatshops. my friend did a report on it

clothings nowadays are all made in 3rd world countries b/c of the labor costs

Not quite. Most of those stuffs are fake. But I had seen American Eagle and Abercrombie 's clothes that made in Vietnam and sold in there with cheaper prices.

the fake ones are at the little shops, if you shop inside a big shopping mall they are all originals. you can buy lots of fake stuff here too...

yeah but the price is higher than 250.000 VND look at the jeans levis they cost around 1 million

of course is higher inside the big shopping mall, but i'm talking in general and 250,000VND is all over and they are different brands not fake!

as which brand ? because if you're right I'm sad to miss this buy :'(

On Hang Dao, Ma May streets just to name a couple, shops like A - Z Fashion, Renaissance Clothing, Nga Tu Shop and so on...

Yeah... in saigon,right ??

Hanoi

oh i see... that's why i miss that lool thx anyway

I've seen so many 100-dollar clothes made from Vietnam but last time I went shopping at the Diamond Plazas and all those malls, I only found cheap material type clothings =(

sometimes you win and sometimes you loose so go figure...
