“An interesting shop of bags”

Dec 2014

I am slightly disappointed with the collection of bags in the shop. The store a bit dated. I have been to the shop in HCMC few years back, the store look more appealing then. I didn't get any bag at all.

“Quintessential bags”

I last bought a colorful Ipa Nima tote bag online several years ago. Funky embellishments and designs are Ipa Nima trademarks and their quintessential, kitschy, girly and vibrant colors appeal to an ecclectic mix of women. When we were in Hanoi last week, after attending mass at St Joseph's Cathedral, we decided to visit the store about 100 metres from the church. The Tina Sparkles shop carries a limited selection. I fell in love with a purple bag with leather straps with golden colored beads and pink zippers fashioned like rosettes on the front panel. I paid USD 140 after Vat refund. I also bought a military green wallet in distressed leather at 50 percent discount @ USD 30. Love my purchases.

Unique

Up market clean fashion outlet. Clearly has attractive original designs. I was bored. My wife was happy. They have a toilet which is always a bonus in cities like Hanoi. Shop has moved to Trang Thi which is a short walk away

Very old fashioned styles

Nov 2013 • Friends

We went to two Ipa Nima shops but I was very disappointed, the styles were very dated and boring. They are all beautifully hand made but unfortunately not my taste, I prefer something more on trend that looks stylish, these don't.

Hi Teresa, Sorry we have not been focusing on tripadvisor but we do have new collections every six months so hopefully next time you visit there will be something more to your taste. Cheers M
