Near Tet, gift baskets are flooding the market, fashion is flooding the sidewalks with huge sales

The above scene was recorded on Le Minh Xuan Street, next to Tan Binh Market - which specializes in wholesale clothing. On the days before Lunar New Year, instead of bustling with buying and selling, many stall owners have closed their shops for the holidays. The remaining stalls are mainly for debt collection and inventory clearance, so traders pile up to "sell" at cheap prices, 30 - 50% of normal prices.

High quality and low quality, the store sells a fashionable dress for the same price of 120,000 VND.

The busiest fashion street in Ho Chi Minh City is deserted like never before, owners are 'counting the days to bear the loss'

But customers are still sparse, even though the fashionable dress is only 1/3 of the usual price.

The streets around Tan Binh market have signs with clothes discounts, but very few people buy.

Ao dai for Tet is on sale but still not selling well. Rarely does a customer come to buy it.

Huge discounts, even the traditional ao dai which is bought a lot during Tet, by December 25th there were no more customers.

Customers entering An Dong market on the morning of December 25th were not any better.

The "sale" atmosphere is everywhere, spilling out onto the sidewalks, sellers are busy but buyers are still indifferent.

Household items from dish racks, stainless steel chopstick holders, to doormats are all sold on the sidewalks. Each doormat, which is usually sold in the market for 40,000 - 50,000 VND, is now sold in front of the market for 15,000 - 35,000 VND.

Tet gift baskets also share the same "fate" of being unsold. Each gift basket costs from 550,000 - 2.5 million VND, and is sold on many streets, but only a few customers come in to buy.

Small traders hang hammocks and spread mats to stay up all night to watch over Tet flowers: 'We have to try'

Only 1 week left until Tet, goods are abundant, prices have not increased, but sellers are still waiting for customers.

Only the essential dry goods area is still crowded with customers.

Many jam and cake stalls in An Dong market were weighing and packaging non-stop at noon on February 4 (December 25). The rare Tet atmosphere in this segment also comforted the once-famous markets, which were not only wholesale and retail places but also famous tourist destinations in Ho Chi Minh City.
