Comments on: Hanoi’s Chợ Hôm (Fabric Market) http://www.amyalamode.com/blog/2010/01/27/hanois-ch%e1%bb%a3-hom-fabric-market/ Thu, 02 Feb 2012 01:50:51 +0000 hourly 1 By: Nancy http://www.amyalamode.com/blog/2010/01/27/hanois-ch%e1%bb%a3-hom-fabric-market/#comment-8140 Nancy Tue, 21 Sep 2010 17:37:43 +0000 http://www.amyalamode.com/blog/?p=2304#comment-8140 We are going to Vietnam next month and I can hardly wait! These stalls look like the fabric shops/stalls I saw in Singapore in May where I went crazy buying fabric. I'm looking for large quantities of a heavier linen for slipcovers...probably a love seat or two and two chairs. Do they have large amounts of one fabric? I would want it all the same and of course heavier than clothing linen. In Singapore I didn't see the heavier so I'm looking forward to shopping here and finding that. Planning on bringing extra luggage so we can bring lots of stuff home. Thanks for the info on this fabric mart. I also read about this area: "Tucked away on the outskirts of Hanoi, the Ninh Hiep Fabric Market is the northern region's largest textile market" and will hopefully find nice things there, too.

I bet it was overwhelming -- it looks so vivid! I love the blue you chose, but then I'm a sucker for blue! :) I love the colors in these photos! I bet it was overwhelming — it looks so vivid!

They had a huge fabric warehouse we visited, but that was 10 years ago and before I knew about quilting! What an experience. :) I lived in Taiwan for a year, and this looks so familiar!

Did you see any other tourists there? I think I would have been overwhelmed trying to buy just a few pieces out of that huge selection. Your choices are lovely -- is that print on the left embroidered? This is so interesting, Amy. Did you see any other tourists there?

It's stacked pretty high in some of those booths! Reminds me of the fabric market I went to in Guangzhou China last year. I know exactly how you felt about not knowing what to buy. I was lucky my sister could speak some Chinese to help with the quantities and prices. Love your purchases! Wow, look at all that wonderful fabric. It’s stacked pretty high in some of those booths!

I rarely ever went but I was always taken by how tiny the stalls were. This reminds me of Chinatown in Singapore… I rarely ever went but I was always taken by how tiny the stalls were.
