How to find us — and whether this is the right store for you
The shop is at number 86, alley 72 (ngõ 72) Nguyễn Trãi, in Thanh Xuân. The entrance is inside the alley, off the main road, under a red sign reading the GATE. The Directions button opens the store's own point on Google Maps, which is the surest way to arrive; a driver who does not read English will find it from the Vietnamese address above.
If you are staying in the Old Quarter or near Hoàn Kiếm Lake, our Ba Đình shop is much closer — this one is about four kilometres further out, and there is nothing here you cannot also find there. Use this page if you are already in the south-west of the city: around Nguyễn Trãi, Khương Trung, Thanh Xuân or Hà Đông, or coming in along the Nguyễn Trãi road.
Our other Hanoi store: Ba Đình (Tôn Thất Thiệp), a short walk from the Hanoi train street.
What we sell
Clothing made in Vietnamese factories for international outdoor and casual brands, sold from the surplus of those export runs — the same construction as the branded item, without the brand's retail price. Because it is surplus, sizes and colours come and go; what you see below is what this store holds right now.
- Everyday clothing is the bulk of this shop: cotton tees, polos, shirts, trousers and shorts, plus a wall of caps
- Outdoor jackets, fleece, vests and windbreakers — the layers worth buying before Sa Pa, Hà Giang or a cold morning in the north
- Clothing for children as well as men and women
- Larger sizes on the rack — XL and 2XL across many styles, 3XL on a smaller selection
- Prices are printed on the tag in Vietnamese đồng; there is no bargaining
- At the counter: cash, bank transfer, card and QR payment
Sizing follows the original brand's run, so a European "M" and a Korean "M" can differ — please try on. Staff speak basic English; a translation app works fine for the rest.
