Collective Memory - The House of Curios

Such a beautiful shop!! They sell different products made in Vietnam and inspired in the traditional vietnamese culture, true pieces of art! You can find pictures, artworks and decoration, bags and wallets, perfumes, candles, pottery... and even cruelty free cosmetics made in Vietnam. If you are looking for a meaningful present or you want a souvenir for yourself from Vietnam, this is your place! The lady was very friendly and gave me all kind of explanations about the products.

Spent a lovely afternoon discussing the new art scene in Vietnam at Collective Memory and made a good friend. Thx for the great convo Nga Hoang!nnThis store is very intelligently curated by a wonderful couple and I picked up some stunning little things for the house and a few gifts for friends such as candles, ornaments and ceramics.nnAlso got a few new pieces to add to the collection by up-and-coming local artists, many of which have been personally commissioned by the store.nnIf you are ever in Hanoi check them out and avoid the junky tourist souvenirs you find at every night market and help support local artists instead. Prices very reasonable and clearly thought out.nnSupport Local Businesses and Art!

Collective memory is one of the best places in Hanoi to go for any sort of Vietnam memorabilia, or even just to look around at beautiful art prints for sale. Highly recommend checking out the store.

Great collection of choices, especially perfume collection - The maison bagian

What a gem.nnThis is the only place you need to go for your souvenirs. The shop sources arts and crafts from local Vietnamese artists. I got myself a couple of illustrative postcards, Vietnamese coffee soap, Vietnamese paper sketchbook, and a couple more things. The storekeeper was lovely and great to talk to. Honestly, I could spend much of my time and money there if I could!
