   Leather tailors in Hanoi are off the tourist spots, so you will have to go actively look for them.

   From travels in other countries, if you see something you like buy it. Chances are you won’t see it somewhere else along your travels. Be in the moment not the maybe.

   For replica bags Hanoi. For leather non replicas Hoi an. If you see something you like in any city just buy it. Each place had different things so you won’t necessarily find the same things in either.

   Go and see Lucia Thoi at the Hoi an market, and get her to make you a custom leather bag. The best leather shop in Vietnam, I’ve been buy stuff off her for years. All the copy bags are low quality rubbish, that will last 5 minutes. You never see any Vietnamese or Asians in general, rocking a knockoff Versace handbag.

   We didn’t buy in Hoi An because everyone said Hanio was cheaper. Yes it’s cheaper but the quality was not great. The bags in Hoi An were a lot better qaulity.

   The right answer is – if you see something you like, buy it. There’s no guarantee you’ll find it again in other places.

    More choice in Hanoi, cheaper, and easier bargaining, Hoi an overpriced.
