Russian Market, 328 Vo Van Kiet, District 1
The newest centre for bargains in HCMC, the Russian Market, like its name implies, caters to visitors from Russia. Boasting the largest stock of discounted winter gear in Saigon, you can renew your wardrobe of ski jackets and accessories at a fraction of the cost back home. The merchandise is disorganised and may require some digging around to find the right piece. Larger shoe sizes are also available.
In addition to cold-weather wear, the Russian Market on Ben Chuong Duong in Saigon's District 1 sells sportswear, jackets, casual wear, shoes, souvenirs, suitcases and more. Pick up a women's t-shirt for about VND60,000. Children's clothing should cost around VND30,000 and up. Trousers and dresses are priced at about VND100,000, and high-quality jackets sell for about VND950,000. Note that HCMC's Russian Market stocks larger sized clothing.
