Worth it or not
Leather goods shops, menswear tailors, a bridal atelier, a footwear reseller and an alteration service, spread over Đống Đa, Hai Bà Trưng, Hoàng Mai, Hoàn Kiếm and Long Biên. Leather bags, belts and wallets, a made to measure wedding dress, a dinner suit and a simple alteration cost a fraction of the home price. On a made to measure suit the saving is smaller, on a linen shirt the Netherlands is close, and Birkenstock sandals from a reseller cost more than at home.
Some leather shops show a sale price beside the list price, so a buyer may pay less, and a webshop bag is not made to order: check the leather and size named. The suit pages name no cloth tier and the shop’s own pages disagree about VAT, a wedding dress price is a starting price, and the alteration price comes from an old list. The pages do not say what the made to measure prices cover, so ask about fittings; the trip is not in them either.
