Thang Long Silk Hanoi, Vietnam

The Vietnamese sisters who run the Thang Long Silk shop stitch colorful flowers onto lush silk. Located on a strip of silk shops, this closet-sized operation is easy to miss, but worth the effort to find. Every corner bursts with color. Those seeking an outfit for a night out on the town might fancy the sexy, backless tops paired with a wrap around skirt. For the more modest, perhaps a flowing tunic over wide legged pants. The friendly owners are not shy about offering fashion advice and will alter pieces to suit your body.
