HCMC Shopping Haul 🛍️🇻🇳
TBH the tiktok viral shops are not really my vibe and can be quite pricey, they’re more of statement pieces i can’t see myself wearing more than once.
District 3 is where it’s truly at with more basics and everyday wear for under S$20. The downside is half the shops are not made for the taller girlies (i’m 167).

During my shopping spree in District 3, I found that the area's charm lies in its versatility and affordability. While some viral TikTok shops offer eye-catching statement pieces that can be a bit pricey, District 3 shines with wardrobes staples perfect for daily use. For those taller shoppers like me (167cm), it can be a bit of a challenge to find the perfect fit, but perseverance pays off. One highlight was the handmade silver ring from AAA Jewelry -- the craftsmanship truly stood out, and their silver polishing cloth ensures the ring stays pristine. I also fell in love with the pastel wide-toed ballerinas from Naga Shoes, priced at just $13 a pair; they are comfortable and add a soft, stylish touch to any outfit. Clothing-wise, my favorite finds were from Aufra, including a lovely chef-core white top that’s now a staple in my wardrobe. It’s great to know some of these brands are also available on Shopee SG, making it easier for those who want to shop online later. Exploring various shops like GOLA and Waa Studios added unique flair to my haul, showcasing a mix of classic and trendy options. If you're planning a shopping trip in HCMC, the 111 Concept Store and Mozaic Space on District 3’s shopping street are must-visits for fashion lovers seeking local brands and exclusive pieces. Don’t hesitate to dive into the local scene and hunt for gems beyond the popular TikTok style shops – you might just find your new favorite piece! Feel free to send your recommendations too; I’m always on the lookout for even more hidden gems in HCMC!
