handbags

Post by blue05 »

Is there anywhere in HH to get great quality handbags of the branded variety at low prices?

Or do you have to go to BKK

Any experts know?

Thanks

If you want genuine, quality anything with a genuine, quality brand name, you will will probably have to pay a genuine, quality price. Even in Thailand.

Can't answer the OP's question properly, as to get a decent and acceptably quality fake handbag, then you'll have to go to BBK.....like close to the market that's near to Don Mueag and such like places.

Depends how much money you have to spend dude.

In HH though, then it's probably a negative unless you have huge bucks and get it from the capital.

Go to BBk, as asking if it's available in HH is silly really imo.

I think you are having a giraffe regarding this one in HH.

I'm obviously being a bit thick this evening. If that's what he wants, why didn't he say so?

You would have to go to one of the kosher department stores in Bangkok. You will find 'brand name' bags in HH but there's no guarantee they will be the real thing.
Having said that some of the non brand stuff in places like the Mall can be very good value, and there are usually some excellent leather bags in Chatuchak market in Bangkok.
Fake designer bags can vary a lot in quality and I've had some that have lasted ages, and have been value for money, but you pays your money and you takes your chance.
The thing to remember is that good quality designer bags are imported to Bangkok - just as they are imported to the UK - so you are still paying top dollar.

To give a serious answer, yes there are one or two stalls in the night markets selling reasonable quality "fake" handbags, although for the best choice and lowest price, you would need to go to BKK

My wife has never found anything suitable in HH, the best she has ever found anywhere was in Ben Thanh market in Saigon...........not much help, I know, but if you're ever in Vietnam........ :D :cheers:

I can second this we bought some "genuine" samsonite suitcases in HH only to find they are dropping to peices after a couple of uses, they where not cheap but appeared to be a good price for a set of 3.
This was from a shop that appeared to be samsonite dealers. :cuss:
