Free international shipping, explained completely

Anything I can fold, wrap, and tuck in gently.

• Yes: clothing, shoes, bags, scarves, jewellery, áo dài
• Yes: linen and silk by the metre
• No: perfume, aerosols, food, anything counterfeit

Premium ateliers and quiet little studios you won't find on any shelf in America. If it exists in Sài Gòn, I can go stand in front of it for you.

Yes — honestly, that's my favourite kind of order. Send me any of these:

• A screenshot of something you liked, or a Pinterest board
• A feeling: "elevated linen for work," "one dress for a September wedding"
• A colour, an occasion, or the piece you already own and want a sister to

Prefer to look first? All 270 verified houses are free to browse in the Saigon Fashion Directory, filterable by style, tier, and category.

• The Single — one outfit, two or three pieces
• The Capsule — four to six pieces
• The Wardrobe — ten to fourteen pieces
• The Suitcase — up to twenty-five pieces

Not sure? Send me the list — I'll weigh it and tell you honestly which tier it is. You never pay for a bigger tier than your order needs, and the example baskets show exactly how each size fills.

This is part of the service, not your risk to carry.

• Vietnamese sizing runs small, so I never trust the letter on the tag
• You send bust, waist, hip, and height once
• I measure the real garment and check it against you
• If a piece won't fit, I tell you before you pay, not after

One payment, nothing hidden.

• After you approve the photos of your actual pieces, you pay once: the boutique price of the pieces (receipt shown) plus my flat tier fee ($65–$375) plus doorstep or USPS delivery, if you've chosen it — one number, settled before anything is bought
• Only then do I buy — I shop with your money, never mine, and your spot in the suitcase is locked the moment you pay

Nothing is ever charged before you've seen and approved the real piece, and there is no third number.

• For the pieces: Zelle or Wise — both fee-free, so cost stays cost
• For my fee: paid together with the pieces — Zelle, Venmo, PayPal, and Wise all work
• Want buyer protection? Choose PayPal Goods & Services for the fee — I'm happy to work that way

The order of operations protects you:

• Nothing is bought until you approve a photo of the real piece — your money never moves on a guess
• You pay pieces at cost, with the receipt shown
• Want a safety net? Pay the fee via PayPal Goods & Services — buyer protection the whole way

You see the real piece before a single đồng is spent, and every receipt after. That's the whole safety model.

For this flight, none — your order rides in my checked luggage.

• No courier, nothing per kilo — the flight is happening anyway
• My tier fee includes the hand-carry (that's the biggest slice of it)
• Beyond free OC pickup: $20–40 doorstep, or USPS at cost

There is no other line on the bill.

• Perfume, aerosols, food — airline and customs rules
• Nothing counterfeit, ever — fakes get seized at the border

I won't risk your order or the honest orders sitting beside it. Everything I buy is genuine, from the brand's own boutique, with the receipt to show for it.

Then you haven't lost anything — you only pay after I photograph the piece in my hands.

• I message you from the shop with what's actually there
• Or hunt the same piece at the brand's other locations
• You approve a real alternative, or simply skip it

No money moves for a piece that doesn't exist.

Tell me what you wanted anyway — you have two options:

• Wait. You go first on the next flight, and there's always a next flight
• Ship it. Courier runs about $30–50 a kilo, one to two weeks — the estimator gives you a grounded ballpark

If you can wait, the flight is simply the better deal.

• Pickup — a lovely public spot in central OC, shared once your order is confirmed; we pick a time between 21 and 31 August
• Doorstep — $20 anywhere in OC, $40 across greater LA, and included with the Suitcase
• Outside SoCal — USPS Priority, tracked, 1–3 days

There isn't one — here's the mechanics so you don't have to take that on faith:

• I'm flying home to California on 18 August regardless
• Checked bags are already part of that trip
• I'd rather fill them with your pieces than with air
• My flat tier fee is where I'm paid — and it's printed on this page

That's the entire business model.

I did the maths for you in the comparison chart:

• Economy round trip: $900–1,500, before a single night's hotel
• Travel time: 18–30 hours each way
• The ticket alone costs more than two full Suitcases, delivered

As a holiday? Wonderful — genuinely, go, and take my free field guide with you. As a shopping strategy, the numbers never close.
