So where do you get costumes in Saigon? Well actually, if you drive around the city, there are lots around. There’s Hanah along Pasteur St. But I wanted to visit A2 Shop which was highly recommended by Dani.
So one rainy afternoon, my son and I visited A2 Shop at 107A Truong Dinh St. in District 3.
Photo grabbed from Dani (I couldn’t have taken a photo because it was raining cats and bats!).
My son was wowed with the choices!
It’s a costume shop and so it doesn’t just sell Halloween stuff.
But of course it’s the season, there are lots of scary costumes available.
They’ve got costumes for adults as well.
And if you can’t find anything that fits you or your kid, you can have one custom made.
I wanted the butterfly costume on the wall.
They’ve got broomsticks as well if you’re letting your child be a witch for Halloween (or if you want them to clean their room).
My son wanted to be Boboiboy. Can you imagine that? LOL. But I’m glad he decided to try on other costumes that day.
He ended up with being
Peter Pan Robin Hood.
Costumes cost over 300kVND and though pricey, the material and quality is really excellent. I ended up getting an orange dinosaur costume for my little one too.

Happy Halloween
This shop has moved to 104 Tran Hung Dao. I visited the shop today and was dissapointed. overpriced costumes, not enough sizes, and they were all made of thick fabric, which is really not a good choice to wear in HCMC. You can find cheaper options right around the corner from Lotteria. shop next to 91 Nguyen Thai Hoc. good luck.
