Answer (changed )

In Hanoi, you can buy counterfeit sportswear under the North Face brand in small stores under the sign "Made in Vietnam". These stores are mainly located on Hang Thung and Hang Manh streets in the tourist area.

It is important to understand that this is not original North Face products. Sellers may claim that these are either originals (which is not true, as the brand is prohibited from sale in Vietnam), or special batches from Vietnamese factories for the local market. In reality, it is most likely either illegally exported defective products from the factory, or goods sewn in underground workshops.

The assortment of such stores usually includes:

  • Trekking boots
  • Multi-layer jackets with Gore-Tex membrane
  • Windbreakers and hiking pants
  • Thermal underwear and synthetic T-shirts
  • Less often - tourist equipment (dry bags, trekking poles)

Prices in different stores can vary significantly for the same product, so we recommend visiting several stores, comparing prices, and definitely bargaining.
