“Great products, good cause, good prices.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 March 2012

Craft Link has two stores on Van Mieu Street in Hanoi - both shops offer well-made, lovely handicrafts and the sale of these handicrafts supports local, indigenous artisans. I always find something lovely in these shops! The prices are very reasonable, and you feel good knowing you are helping local artisans. These shops are well worth a visit.
