shopping in Seoul

[summej2]

I’ll be in Seoul for about a week in June; anything in particular I should look at while I'm there?

Previous threads on AAAC have addressed bespoke, but I’m assuming that I would need more than the few days I’ll have. Is anything else particularly well priced in Korea?

 

[whoopee]

Seoul is expensive for anything worth buying, in my limited experience.

I agree, having been there many times there aren't really any bargains, unless you're from Japan and you can get your Louis Vuitton gear for a bit cheaper taking a holiday to Seoul. Seoul is like a junior version of Tokyo IME, and just as expensive

yeah, seoul doesn't really have anything interesting. in the month i stayed there i bought a wallet. that's it.

(but i spent something like $700 on food. hahaha.)

I've been there and you should stock up on underwear (nice cotton boxers for $2.00 ea. you must negociate) and sox. You should try wholesale disrtict like: Dongdaemun http://b2b.zipia.net/ or Namdaemun: http://www.enamdaemun.com/NDM/client...ndm_mk_map.jsp

The best prices are during 3AM-6AM when all the wholesellers are doing business.
