Finally, our second Emporium store opened at #39 Xuan Dieu !!! We held a huge party for Asian Women & Friends Hanoi members and gave away free beauty & fashion make-overs to five lucky AWFH members. Thanks so much to Binh’s Hair Salon for giving our ladies a free hair make-over. Photos by Boris Lopatin
