Things to Get Made in Hoi An and Da Nang (Besides a Suit): Name-Embroidered Gifts in 30 Minutes
By Dear eM. Updated 28 October 2026. VND prices from our product pages; US$ figures are approximate.
You've probably read the same advice everywhere: get a suit made in Hoi An. Good advice. Here's the part the guides skip.
A suit is for you. The twelve people waiting at home get a bag of coffee, if they're lucky. And a tailored piece needs fittings, so it eats two or three of your days in the old town.
Embroidery is the opposite. One short stop, one name typed in, and the gift is personal in a way a market purchase never is.
What you can get made with a name on it
| Item | How long | Price (VND) | About US$ |
|---|---|---|---|
| Candy Stripe Pouch, 8 colours, 2 sizes | Same day, ~30–45 min in store | 135,000–165,000 | 5–6.5 |
| Waffle Pouch, pastel, 2 sizes | Same day | 165,000–195,000 | 6.5–7.5 |
| Furry Pouch / Tweed Pouch, with or without bow | Same day | 195,000–225,000 | 7.5–8.5 |
| Birth-flower pouch: her birth month's flower + her name | Same day to 1 day | 165,000–255,000 | 6.5–10 |
| Fringe scarf, 180 × 70 cm, 5 colours | 1–3 working days | 265,000 | 10 |
| Silk pyjama set, name on the sleeve | 1–3 working days | 395,000–515,000 | 15–19.5 |
| Vanity Case, structured leather-look box | 1–3 working days | 545,000–745,000 | 21–28.5 |
Suit in Hoi An vs. embroidery in Da Nang
| Tailored suit / dress | Embroidered gift | |
|---|---|---|
| Who it's for | You | Anyone: her, mum, your friend's kid |
| Time | 2–3 fittings over several days | 30–45 minutes for a pouch |
| Risk | Fit can be off when you're not around to adjust | You see the preview before paying |
| Budget | Millions of VND | From 135,000 VND |
| Packing | Garment bag | Folds flat in carry-on |
Do both. Order the suit on day one in Hoi An, and on a Da Nang day drop by for gifts.
How to fit it into a Da Nang day
- Morning: type the name on dearem.co, pick a font, thread colour and a tiny icon, check the preview, pay to start. Or walk into the store on Pham Van Dong Street and do it with staff.
- Coffee or beach: My Khe beach is a few minutes away. A pouch is embroidered in about 30–45 minutes.
- Collect, or have bigger items delivered to your Da Nang hotel in 1–3 working days.
Before you order, the honest bits
- Names fit up to about 10 characters. Nicknames work best.
- Delivery is within Vietnam only; we can't post it to you after you've flown home.
- Silk pyjamas are one freesize (about 40–60 kg) in one pink-stripe colour.
- Fixed prices, no haggling, which is the trade for a preview and a 5.0 rating.
