Ipa Nima Bag Store in Hanoi, Vietnam
Ipa Nima Bags in Hanoi are one of the highlights for women visiting Northern Vietnam, and this article covers how my partner and I went in search of exclusive handmade bags around town.
She had heard of the brand a while ago, but Ipa-Nima in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia is just too pricey with limited and out-of-seasonal collections; therefore, since we were heading to Hanoi, we decided to allocate half a day to source out the Ipanima Flagship Store in Hanoi.

Facing tough times as a litigator here, she decided to pursue a little secret dream of hers to create a business in the fashion area.
After one and a half years there, she finally came through with the brand Ipa-Nima and is rated as one of the most talented designers in the world today. Her bags are found worldwide, and she has celebrities and politicians as her customers.
Out of three prints, two of them showed one address which was just nearby the Hanoi Towers. Grabbing a taxi from the Old Quarter, we made our way there only to find no such place.
Maybe the place was closed, we thought, but then it was a weekday, so I asked one of the shops nearby only to be told that they had moved a few years ago and did not know where they were currently.
Some help the Internet was – it was back to looking at the printout and deciding on the following known address, 34 Han Thuyen Road.
Window displays on both sides show the latest collection of Ipa Nima Bags, while the baroque-styled decorations were tastefully done. Without hesitation, Lilian was already inside while I was still in awe, looking around the entrance.
Two Vietnamese girls were manning the store, and without hesitation, they approached Lilian with a sweet smile and well-spoken English.
Lilian must have looked like she was in the Disneyland of Bags here, as her constant focus was on the products displayed cleverly from pillar to pillar and wall to wall.

A clever way to keep one’s eye busy. The cashier’s counter doubled as another display where trinkets, purses, and other items were shown.
Large mirrors were also cleverly placed as women love to see how they would look with these designer bags.
For your information, another smaller shop is selling Ipa Nima Bags at Old Quarter in Hanoi. Tina Sparkles is just near Joseph’s Cathedral in the Hoan Kiem District.
So if you are strapped for time, you can simply make your way here for some of the unique bags offered. They close at about 9pm too. If you are a serious shopper, please call them ahead to check opening and closing times as the staff here speak pretty good English.
They accept all kinds of Credit Cards here too. You can also get more up-to-date information from the official Ipa Nima Website.
