Crumpler Bags

[Update : There are now 2 Crumpler shops along Bui Vien. Not sure if they belong to the same owner.]

2 queries in a day made me realize that I haven't had any updates on these hot item bags.

The most convenient shop (for visitors) with the most range of Crumpler bags and also havanas and crocs is at 137 Bui Vien St, District 1. It is in the backpackers' area - Pham Ngu Lao - within walking distance from Sinh Tourist - if you're booking tours from the latter. However, this outlet's prices seems to be a tad more expensive than the original at District 4, whose prices are found in the bagvina website.

The shop with the bagvina website is located in Dist 4. But it's kind of way-out and inconvenient for visitors unless you're adventurous. A cab will get you there in about 10 min or less. Walking will take you about 20-30 minutes from Pham Ngu Lao.

You can also buy Crumpler bags at some stalls in the Ben Thanh Day and Night Market, and at both Saigon Squares (there's a 1 and a 2). But the range is quite limited.
[Update : Can also find them at the new Taka Mall - near Pasteur/Le Than Ton junction]
