OLD QUARTER REVIEWHàng Hòm
Original trade: Wooden chests, now luggage. Wooden chest makers gave way to suitcase and school bag shops along this street.
Like every street in this quarter, Hàng Hòm began as a guild street of old Thang Long, where one craft or one trade gathered on one street and gave the street its name. Our full street story, filmed on location with Suzy, is in production for the channel.
