A world-famous brand not only with Vietnamese customers, but also with tourists from all over the world, suddenly became a farce. Vietnam has no shortage of businessmen and tycoons, many of whom are secretive, behind the scenes, commanding the troops.

They are also very successful in their business careers. But the owner of Khaisilk seems to be the opposite, quite noisy and flashy. That’s okay, success is worth honoring. However, a “business empire” with a bright, arrogant brand has been hit with a terrible black mark.

The Office of the Ministry of Industry and Trade stated: In the past few days, the media and press have reported and mentioned the case of a store in Hanoi of Khaisilk Group selling scarves with both the labels "KHAISILK - Made in Vietnam" and "Made in China".

In response to this incident, Minister Tran Tuan Anh requested the Market Management Department to coordinate with the Department of Competition and Consumer Protection to inspect, review and clarify the above information. If there are signs of violations related to the origin of goods, counterfeit goods, counterfeit goods, and consumer protection, the units should immediately propose a solution.
