Hand crafted home decorations from Vietnam

A Shop near South Kensington tube in London is closing down and it stores Hand crafted home decorations from Vietnam and other Asian countries. Lots of bargains to be had.

I bought 2 sunloungers from there, solidly built, for £20 each. A good bargain.

    .....I was just saying to my wife last night that our studio flat really could do with some hand crafted home decorations from Vietnam, but she said "What's wrong with Ikea?"

    No wonder they are so cheap. I've been there and the YEARLY wages are only £500 per year. The person that made it probably only got about 2p for it.

    Probably. But it also probably didnt cost a lot to make them in the first place.

    Having said that, I am not even going to think about the factory conditions for the craftsmen. My imagination might stop me from using the deck chairs ;)
