Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) is fast becoming a shoppers paradise. Silk, fashions, bespoke tailoring, embroidery, art and traditional handicrafts - plus some of the best home decor items in Asia - it's all available in Saigon.
Silk and fashion are major draws for shoppers in Saigon, as are the city's numerous art galleries, some of which feature a selection of works by very collectable Vietnamese artists.
Home decor and decorative household accessories also feature prominently on many visitors' shopping lists, while traditional Vietnamese handicrafts make excellent gifts and souvenirs.
Antiques are offered all over town, although there are a couple of centres specialising in the "genuine" article. As always when buying antiques or valuables of any kind, take care to establish the authenticity of your purchase before parting with any cash. It's a case of "caveat emptor" - buyer beware. And for your information, those war-surplus Zippos aren't;t genuine antiques - they're not even genuine Zippos.
