HAI DANG SILK
Hidden among Banyan trees in the Old Quarter, Hai Dang Silk grabs your attention with its numerous silks in striking and impressive colours. Entering this intimate estabishment, you sink deep into a sea of silk; carefully selected from traditional silk villages both in Vietnam and China. you'll find every type of silk product, inluding napkins, table-cloths and pillows, all with a detailed description on paper.

Traditional and up-to-date fashions are designed and hand-made by reputable designers and tailors; some created from more unusual materials. Ready-to-wear garments feature predominately silk skirts and dresses nad shirts for men; a tailoring service is also available. Costs are very reasonable (bearing in mind the high quality), but dependant of course on size and materials used. An additional $2-3 is charged for beads or embroidered patterns added. This palace of silk also features meticulously embroidered pictures, featuring Vietnam's haunting landscapes. Mr. Hai, the shop's owner, proudly reveals that his skilled workers can convert any painting to embroidery. In fact, the embroidered works adorning the walls are akin to real art works. Don't miss the fashionable silk bags and shoes, designed and created solely by Hai Dang: prices range from $10 to $16. Established just three years ago, Hai Dang silk is fast becoming a regular address for foreign clientele; the friendly staff also speak good English.
