Precious stones are a real bargain here. Consisting of one long street and many adjacent alleyways and basement shops. Itaewon was originally planned and designed exclusively for foreign clientele. Clothing is one of the biggest bargains in Itaewon. Ready-made clothes such as jogging suits, sport shirts, sweaters, down jackets, and ski wear are great Itaewon bargains.
Shoes are a popular buy.
Itaewon carries leather shoes made with imported and local leathers, which can be custom-made in just a few days. But there is more to Itaewon than clothing and shoes. This is a great area to shop for Korean souvenirs, crafts, small gifts, suitcases, and bags. Itaewon also has the greatest collection of eel skin products in Seoul, and jewelry-smoky topaz, amethyst, and jade. Fur shops sell their furs duty-free to foreigners.
