Chan Cam alley

This little alley has a collection of small shops and boutiques that carry from cheap Chinese made clothing pieces to local designers. Stocks in these shops are usually small in size and not many pieces available. Minimalism is a common theme in these boutiques. This is a popular shopping place for trendy Hanoians. Prices here are usually not fixed so a little bit of bargain may reduce the price a little but not much.

Ly Quoc Su street

Usually travelers come to Hanoi before heading off to many other locations such as Sapa or Ninh Binh. It requires some sport wear update that can be found on Ly Quoc Su street. This streets have a few shops that sell jackets and sports clothing. The quality if pretty decent for the price one pays and they do the job well, especially during Hanoi winter.
