[2026 Latest] Only in Ho Chi Minh City! Your Guide to "Vietnam Exclusive" Souvenirs at Takashimaya
Hello, this is Hazuki from ít ít Việt Nam.
One of the joys of traveling is souvenir shopping.
While classic souvenirs you can buy at the supermarket are nice, you probably also want to bring home items you can only buy in Vietnam, or something a little special as a keepsake for yourself.
So, this time, we're featuring "Vietnam-exclusive brand collaboration products you can only buy in Ho Chi Minh City!" that only insiders know about.
Why "Ho Chi Minh Takashimaya"?
Actually, the highly anticipated limited collaboration brands (Uniqlo, Adidas, etc.) that we'll be introducing this time are all gathered in one place, making "Takashimaya (Saigon Centre)" in the heart of District 1 the best spot for travelers to shop most efficiently!
From here, we'll explain the best way to navigate Takashimaya to make your shopping experience many times more comfortable, along with the must-check limited edition items!
Super Convenient to Know! The Best Way to Navigate Takashimaya
1. Escape from the scorching sun or sudden squalls!
Ho Chi Minh City is hot all year round. Walking outside during the strong sun can drain your energy more than you'd expect. In such cases, it's best to quickly take refuge in Takashimaya, which has excellent air conditioning, and enjoy shopping while cooling down.◎
A smart way for experienced visitors to Ho Chi Minh City to spend their time is to enter a cafe in the mall when "it looks like a squall is coming..." and plan their next activities while waiting for the rain to stop.
2. When you're unsure about lunch or dinner
Vietnamese food is delicious, but after a few days, you might start to miss familiar flavors. Takashimaya offers a wide variety of restaurants, including comforting Japanese food.
It's the perfect place to go when you want a quick lunch because you're planning to eat at a local street food stall for dinner, or when your family wants to eat different types of food!
3. Last-minute shopping OK! One-stop souvenir bulk buying
Even if you realize the day before you leave, "Oh, I forgot to buy a souvenir for that person!", don't worry.
At Takashimaya, you'll find not only fashion brands, but also the high-end supermarket "Annam Gourmet" and the popular chocolate brand "MAROU" in the basement. Since you can get everything from food to miscellaneous goods in one go, it's perfect for a final souvenir hunt.
3 Recommended Shops to Buy Vietnam Exclusive Items!
1. ABC-MART
Adidas x Ho Chi Minh Metro! Limited Edition T-shirt for Travel Memories

One T-shirt, featuring the "Metro" running through the streets of Ho Chi Minh City, perfectly captures the evolving atmosphere of Ho Chi Minh today. Its rarity makes it a delight for yourself, and it's sure to be appreciated as a gift for a sneaker-loving partner.
2. UNIQLO

3. Onitsuka Tiger
Fall in love with the tiger wearing a non la! The phantom Vietnam exclusive model
A must-see for sneaker fans! There's an incredibly cute limited edition model featuring a tiger wearing a "non la," Vietnam's traditional conical hat.
Unfortunately, it was sold out when I visited, but that just shows how popular it is. You'd be incredibly lucky to catch it during a restock! If you happen to pass by the store, be sure to take a look.
