I apologize for being MIA lately, but patience is a virtue I do not possess and brutally slow internet connections are not my friend.

Hoi An; city of tailors, or as I like to refer to it, city of dreams! I’m not gonna lie, I love to shop and I love clothes and shoes. I have a hoodie collection to rival all hoodie collections, I own Converse shoes in every colour of the rainbow, I own a bazillion pairs of Vans (including all 4 limited edition Iron Maiden Vans). My jaw hit the ground when I got to Hoi An. Tailor shop after tailor shop after tailor shop filled with jackets, suits, dresses, pants and shoes OH MY! You can walk into any of these shops and have anything your little heart desires made within 24 hours. There are hundreds upon hundreds of pairs of sandals, heels, boot etc in each shoe store. You pick the style, pick the fabric, pick the heel etc and they will churn those suckers out within a day. Naturally I got a pile of stuff done…. unfortunately, because everything is churned out within 24 hours and you have to pay in advance, sometimes things don’t turn out quite the way you had hoped.

Example: Here is a pair of custom made Nike “Dunks” that I had made. I asked for a black sole, she gave me a white sole and if you notice on the side, it says Kappa. Oh well, they’re still awesome anyways…..
