TABLE CONTENT
I. Overview
1. The history of CHAUTFIFTH
1.1 Overview of Chautfifth:
Chautfifth is a handbag brand founded by Ms. Tran Hoang Chau (born in 1991), who
currently holds the position of Creative Director. In addition to managing business and
operational tasks, Hoang Chau also focuses on strategy and creating new bag designs.

Chautfifth is a handbag fashion brand designed and manufactured in Vietnam, adhering to the
“PCV” criteria. In this, "P" stands for product – unique products, "C" for content – engaging
sales communication, and "V" for visual merchandising – emphasis on store display.

CHAUTFIFTH considers quality as its survival goal. All of the brand's handbag collections
are carefully crafted, meeting both aesthetic and practical standards.

The products at Chautfifth target customers who love novelty but don't want to spend too
much on a premium leather bag. With the target audience being the late Millennials and Gen
Z, who seek novelty in their purchases, Chautfifth releases a new product every month. The
bags are made from PU leather, personally tested by Hoang Chau – Founder, CEO, and
Creative Director – who used them for 7 months without any cracking or peeling before
moving to mass production.

Each bag is given a unique name with its own story. Chautfifth currently offers 12 types of
bags: Hat, Pocket, Hobo, Flower, Butterfly, Lace-Micro, Egg – Roll – Tacos – Sandwich,
Blackpink Boombayah, M Bag, Paper Tote, Raindrop, and Kameleon. The creation of
distinct personalities for each bag is a unique approach that sets Chautfifth apart from many
other domestic handbag brands on the market.
The bags come in various carrying styles, such as crossbody, hanging on belts/skirts, or
attaching to other bags, with fun shapes like raindrops, bread, sandwiches, and more,
combined with standout details like chains, patterns, color coordination, and striking
accessories.
The colors of the bags are luxurious and trendy, popular among young people, such as jade
green, avocado green, and brown. With unique designs, Chautfifth provides users with
impressive products that can be matched with various fashion styles, creating standout pieces
that express individuality.

The price range for Chautfifth bags is mid-range, from 700K to 2 million VND per bag.

1.2. Vision, mission and core value


The name “Chautfifth” carries a deep meaning, reflecting the philosophy behind the brand.
Apart from “Chau,” which is the founder’s name, “Fifth” in English means the number
“five,” but here it’s used to denote “the middle” – not too high but not too low, not too
expensive but not too cheap. This reflects the spirit of finding balance, embracing and
enjoying all aspects of life – which also serves as the declaration of the founder's life and
career philosophy.

As for the founder, Tran Hoang Chau, a 32-year-old with abundant creative ideas, turned
Chautfifth from a vague concept into a successful business entity in just 1.5 years. Before
entering the fashion industry, Chau had experience in Sales & Marketing, unrelated to
fashion design or manufacturing. However, with a strong passion for design and a desire to
create practical products, she decided to pursue the handbag business after completing a
design course. According to Chau, handbags are a niche market within the broad fashion
industry, without the fierce competition seen in clothing. Handbags do not have size issues
and are easier to visualize in styling, thus reducing the risks of unsold inventory due to size,
compared to clothing. After evaluating the fashion business, Chau decided to start her own
handbag business. This decision was not only based on personal preference but also careful
consideration of the market and consumer demand, demonstrating her determination and
clear vision for her brand.
2. Distribution network, main branches
Distribution network of Chautfifth

visibility.
In addition to e-commerce, Chautfifth emphasizes efficient operations by adopting advanced

II. Historical Performance


1. Review historical performance
a. Market trends

The taste for fashion is rapidly expanding in Vietnam as young generations, especially
women, aspire to a modern lifestyle. According to market research from Statista, the Vietnam
Fashion market size is approximately 5.6 billion USD, with a projected increase of 8.8% per
year in the 2019-2023 period. In particular, 97% of the revenue from the market comes from
non-luxury goods. The demand for consuming fashion items among Vietnamese people is
increasingly rising, including handbags. The expected compound annual growth rate for the
next four years (CAGR 2024-2028) will be 7.8%, resulting in a projected market volume of
US$193.7 million by 2028.
Currently, “Y2k” concept has become quite popular. On one hand, the rise of AI technology
and the concept of the metaverse have brought tech topics to the forefront again; on the other
hand, our concerns, expectations, and various uncertainties about the future have sparked the
resurgence of this surrealist utopian aesthetic. Meanwhile, as Generation Z enters society,
emphasizing female liberation and advocating for personal sovereignty, the Y2K culture’s
ideas of “bold expression” and “living in the moment” naturally align with their aesthetic
values.
Otherwise, Korean fashion has undergone a remarkable transformation over the years,
evolving from a regional trend to a global style phenomenon. With its unique blend of
innovation, creativity, and cultural significance, Korean fashion has captivated audiences
worldwide, including Vietnam.
Social media plays a significant role in supporting the growth of the handbags market due to
several reasons. Social media platforms have vast audiences and real-time engagement,
making them ideal for showcasing new handbag collections and market trends. The
influencers and bloggers on social media are trendsetters and provide authentic reviews
which resonate well with their followers, driving the growth of the market.
2023: In the first nine months, Chautfifth achieved sales of 19.2 billion VND. The company
projected total sales of 30 billion VND for the year, with a pre-tax profit margin of 27%.
2024: The company anticipated doubling its revenue to 60 billion VND.
Chautfifth has expanded its presence in Southeast Asia through online platforms. By
participating in Shopee's global selling program, the brand targeted markets such as Thailand,
Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan, and the Philippines. In August 2024, international sales
increased by nearly 300% compared to the previous month, marking a significant milestone
after just four months of entering these markets.
b. Price movement
The global economic outlook will continue to be unsettled, as financial, geopolitical, and
other challenges weigh on consumer confidence. Therefore, the prices of raw materials in the
textile industry, like many other raw materials, are soaring due to recovering consumer
demand after the pandemic and rising energy and transportation costs. Fast fashion product
lines imported from China and Thailand are also having a significant impact on the
Vietnamese market. These product lines are very diverse, with designs similar to those of
major brands but at lower prices, thus becoming the choice for price-sensitive customers.
The exchange rates for countries exporting clothes and fashion products to Vietnam are quite
high, leading to prices that are significantly different from Vietnamese income levels. As a
result, consumers tend to look for domestic products with similar designs but more affordable
prices, such as those from Chautfifth.
c. Customer behavior
The Vietnam handbag market has seen a surge in demand due to shifting consumer
preferences towards fashion and lifestyle products. Handbags are not only seen as functional
accessories but also as style statements. With rising disposable incomes and changing fashion
trends, consumers are willing to invest in high-quality and branded handbags. This trend has
led to a significant increase in the sales of handbags in Vietnam. Additionally, Chautfifth has
been positively influenced by the emergence of local designers and brands, offering a wide
range of handbag styles to cater to diverse consumer preferences.

In the past, people only preferred the traditional form of buying because they were afraid the
risks that the products received were not the same as the photos, as well as the difficulties in
return … Especially for fashion items, customers always want to come to a store, to try and
buy. Recently, consumers have gradually turned to online shopping channels. The main
reason is that the management quality of goods on e-commerce sites has been better. Stricter
regulations on product images and descriptions help improve consumer trust with online
clothing. Besides, Covid-19 is also the cause of the online shopping trend for fashion items.
The quarantine and the restriction on crowds make people form online buying habits to limit
the spread of the epidemic.

d. Market research data


Customer trend
- Consumers tend to spend less money due to economic recession.
- Customers pay more attention to the compatibility between value and price
- E-commerce is on the rise
- Delivery services grew rapidly as staying at home became people's new lifestyle
- Consumers tend to use quality products and unique design
- The rising of “Y2k” style made people prefer products that embodied a spirit of
optimism, technological embrace, and individuality

Sale trends
- Customers in Vietnam’s Fashion industry are pretty sensitive to pricing, especially
young people, who would prefer sales promotions and discounts. A popular trend is
buying on sale days (9/9; 10/10), customers use price or product vouchers which
brand provided to buy goods, which increase the average order’s value and the overall
sales value.
- Many fashion brands in Vietnam launched aesthetic collections or products that
combined futuristic elements with a playful and expressive vibe
- The spread of Covid-19 has changed the consumers’ shopping habits in a way that
customers prefer to shop online, and also leaves some chances for businesses to break
through, especially to shift from the traditional stores to the more up-to-date online
shopping channel.

e. Distributor performance
Chautfifth mainly sells through online channels such as websites, TikTokshop, shopee,
lazada,... Currently, Chautfifth has 3 physical stores in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City for
customers to experience visuals and products. Despite having operated for less than two
years, Chautfifth has already positioned itself among the fastest-growing start-ups in Việt
Nam's fashion industry. To date, the brand has sold over 130,000 self-designed products and
established a strong presence nationwide. Revenue in 2023 will reach VND 30 billion with a
profit before tax of 27%. Chautfifth’s online export segment has also contributed to
Chautfifth's overall 30 percent monthly growth on Shopee, both domestically and
internationally.

2. Key assumption
2.1. Bag shopping trends in Vietnam
The fashion and handbag consumer market in Vietnam is undergoing significant
transformation, driven by the development of online shopping channels alongside traditional
retail. With the economy growing and consumer habits evolving, the demand for handbags
has been increasing. However, today's customers are not merely seeking bags for storage
purposes; they demand high-quality designs that reflect their personal style. Key factors
influencing these trends include the rise of e-commerce and shifts in consumer behavior post-
pandemic.
In 2022, over 51 million people in Vietnam shopped online, representing more than 70% of
the internet-using population, and online shopping expenditure reached $12.42 billion.
According to the 2022 Vietnam E-commerce White Paper, clothing, footwear, and handbags

2.2. Shopping trends of Chautfifth’s Customer Group


Chautfifth’s customer base primarily consists of high-end buyers who are looking for quality
and fashionable handbags. The choice between online and offline shopping channels depends
on their desire for product experience and the convenience of shopping services.

Popular shopping platforms for these customers include Shopee, Lazada, Tiki, Chautfifth's
official website, and social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook. Important factors
influencing their purchasing decisions on these platforms include competitive pricing and
frequent promotions from e-commerce platforms. Moreover, customer reviews are a key
source of information to help buyers make informed choices. Fast delivery also plays a
crucial role in retaining customers and enhancing the shopping experience.

Millennials, prioritize online shopping due to its convenience and price transparency.

across multiple online platforms, such as Shopee and Lazada, to reach customers in

Offline shopping:
- In-store experience remains valued: Despite the rise of online shopping, many high-
end consumers still prefer shopping in physical stores to get a firsthand experience of
the product. They care about the material, design, and brand, something that online
shopping cannot fully replicate.
- Traditional channels still popular: While e-commerce has expanded, 42% of
Vietnamese consumers still prefer to shop at traditional stores. This shows that offline
channels retain a significant position, especially for customers who value premium
experiences and direct consultation with sales staff.

Online vs. Offline Shopping Ratio


In 2022, 50% of Vietnamese consumers indicated that they want to shop online more in the
future, signaling the strong development of online channels, especially for fashion items like
handbags where convenience and quick experiences are top priorities. However, 42% of
consumers still prefer shopping in stores, particularly for high-end bags.
3. Market trend and growth
According to the most recent survey of the fashion market, including clothing and footwear
in Vietnam, the industry contributes 3.8 billion USD, accounting for a significant proportion
of consumer products. This trend is bound to continue in the upcoming years.
As the Vietnam Fashion market is a vast ocean of potential, many brands seek to dominate it.
According to market research from Statista, the Vietnam Fashion market size is
approximately 5.6 billion USD in the 2019-2023 period. In particular, 97% of the revenue
from the market comes from non-luxury goods.
Accessories, which typically include handbags, jewelry, and other personal items, are
estimated to contribute about 15-20% of the total fashion market. This puts the accessories
segment at an approximate value of $825 million to $1.1 billion USD.

highlighted by Shopee Vietnam, which revealed that there are currently over 350,000
Vietnamese sellers participating in the SIP program. Each month, thousands of new sellers
join, promoting more than 15 million products to the Southeast Asian market. Additionally,
the average monthly revenue of Vietnamese sellers in the program steadily increases by 20-
30%.
In the context of Vietnam's deepening integration into the global economy, coupled with

models to digital platforms is seen as an effective solution for businesses to penetrate and
expand their export markets.

purchasing a bag. Meanwhile, 32% and 17% of customers are willing to spend 1-5 million

10. Selling Channel Strategy


Online channel: E-Commerce
Chautfifth employs an omni-channel distribution strategy across e-commerce platforms,
including Shopee, Lazada, TikTok Shop and its official website. Platforms like Shopee and
Lazada allow Chautfifth to reach a wide range of customers with high traffic volumes while
leveraging marketing tools such as Flash Sales, discount vouchers, and Shopee Live to drive
sales. At the same time, Chautfifth's official website is designed not only for direct sales but
also to build its brand and provide a more comprehensive shopping experience.
To maximize distribution efficiency, Chautfifth utilizes SEO/SEM campaigns to enhance
product visibility on e-commerce platforms and search engines. The brand also implements
attractive promotional programs, such as discounted product combos like the “Envelope”
Combo, and free shipping offers to stimulate demand. Live-streaming sales on Shopee Live
and TikTok Shop are actively promoted, increasing direct engagement with customers and
providing detailed product information.
Advantage
- Utilizing platforms like Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok Shop allows Chautfifth to access
a broad and diverse customer base, both domestically and internationally.
- Operating on e-commerce platforms reduces overhead costs compared to maintaining
multiple physical stores, allowing for better allocation of resources to marketing and
product development.
- Livestream selling on platforms like TikTok Shop allows real-time interaction with
customers, increasing trust, engagement, and the likelihood of purchase.

Disadvantage
- E-commerce platforms are saturated with competitors, making it challenging for
Chautfifth to stand out without substantial marketing efforts.
- Dependence on third-party delivery services can result in delays or mishandling of
products, affecting customer satisfaction and brand reputation.
- Managing online customer queries and complaints across multiple channels can be
resource-intensive, and delays may lead to customer dissatisfaction.
- Sales performance is influenced by the policies of e-commerce platforms, such as
commission fees, visibility algorithms, or promotional restrictions.

11. Develop special tactics


A. PERIOD 1: TET HOLIDAY PROMOTION PROGRAM (1/1 - 26/1/2025)
1. Special discount day of the month (01/01/2025)

Chautfifth is launching the "New Year - New Style" program on January 1st to give
customers the opportunity to own handbags with special New Year discounts. The program
includes:
- Exclusive Discounts:
Orders from 1,000,000 VND receive a 10% discount.
Orders from 2,000,000 VND receive a 15% discount.
- Free Gifts: A mini accessory that resembles Tet with every purchase.

=> REASONS
January 1st is a special occasion when customers often look for new items to give or treat
themselves to celebrate the New Year. This is an ideal time for Chautfifth to boost sales,
increase brand awareness, and kick off the new year in style for its customers. The program
not only offers great value but also creates a positive impression, encouraging customers to
develop long-term loyalty to the brand.

2. Combo bag sales “Envelope” and Discount on best selling bags (01/01/2025 -
15/01/2025)
Opening the special New Year preorder for the handbag combo in the first month of the year.
The “Envelope” Combo is available at a special price of 1,499,000 VND, offering a perfect
combination of style and value. This exclusive combo includes the Mini Flower Bag
(original price: 935,000 VND), the Tiny-Flower Bag (original price: 395,000 VND), and the
Flower Charm (original price: 245,000 VND). With its elegant design and functional pieces,
the "Envelope" Combo is an excellent choice for fashion enthusiasts looking for a complete
and coordinated set at an unbeatable price.
=> REASONS
During the Tet holiday season, customers tend to look for products or combos that align with
the festive atmosphere and are convenient for gifting. The “Envelope” Combo perfectly
meets this demand by combining the Mini Flower Bag, Tiny-Flower Bag, and Flower Charm
in a thoughtful set. Symbolically, the name "Envelope" represents good fortune and
happiness for the new year, making it an ideal gift option. The combo's attractive price is
aligned with the consumer habit during Tet, where people prioritize affordable yet high-
quality products. It serves as a perfect gift for family, friends, or even oneself, offering both
aesthetic appeal and practicality. Launching the “Envelope” Combo during Tet not only
boosts sales but also caters to the festive buying behavior, strengthening customer
engagement with the Chautfifth brand.

3. Designing a discount program for best - selling bags


Customers can enjoy the flexibility of mixing and matching Chautfifth’s best-selling bags,
with a 10% discount on the total price when pairing a best-selling bag with any other bag
from the collection. Featured best-sellers include the C5-Pocket Small, 2-FACE Small,
Mini Flower, and Tacos. This offer allows customers to combine their favorite styles and
create versatile combinations that suit their personal preferences, all while enjoying exclusive
savings.

=> REASONS
This campaign is implemented to meet the growing demand for flexibility and
personalization in shopping experiences. By allowing customers to mix and match best-
selling bags with a 10% discount, it encourages larger purchases, effectively increasing
average order value (AOV) and driving sales. Highlighting popular designs like the C5-
Pocket Small, 2-FACE Small, Mini Flower, and Tacos reinforces their appeal, while offering
customers the freedom to create combinations that suit their style. This strategy not only
boosts immediate sales but also enhances customer satisfaction and strengthens brand loyalty.

4. Discount by quantity (16/01/2025 - 26/01/2025)


Chautfifth will carry out a discount program on all bag products: Buy 1 bag discount 5%
and 50% on any charm, Buy 2 bags discount 10% and 50% on any charm, Buy more than
3 discount 15% and a free mini flower charm. The program will be promoted on social
networking platforms starting from January 16, and will take place from January 19th to 26th

REASONS
Clothing is the most purchased item before Lunar New Year, alongside food, confectionery
and beverages. With the culture mindset that one must look their best during Tet, most people
tend to buy clothes for themselves and loved ones. Many people are often willing to spend
generously on luxury items, with the mindset that “Tet only comes once a year”. As the
public's economic situation gradually recovers after Covid-19, fashion product consumption
is expected to be higher than before. Using this, Chau5 offers this promotion to motivate
customers so that Chau5 can boost sales and promote itself. This plan also expected to gain
new customers who previously hesitated due to the relatively high product prices, thereby
giving them an opportunity to purchase Chau5 products. At the same time, this Period could
also help Chau5 clear out unsold inventory.
PERIOD 2: Valentine’s Day and International Women’s Day Promotion (27/01 -
08/03/2025)

the year. This holiday inspires customers to seek unique, heartfelt presents, making it the
perfect opportunity for Chautfifth to offer exclusive designs in romantic hues. The limited

elegance, the collection reinforces Chautfifth’s reputation as a provider of stylish and
premium gifts. Additionally, the launch drives seasonal sales, attracts new customers, and
differentiates the brand from competitors, while fostering deeper emotional connections with
its audience. This strategic move not only meets the market’s needs but also strengthens
Chautfifth’s position in the competitive retail landscape.
3. Special discount day of the month (03/03/2025)
On March 3rd, Chautfifth introduce a special "Spring Colors" promotion to bring a refreshing
touch to the spring season. The program offers 15%-30% discounts on products featuring

collection, while building stronger connections with customers through valuable and
memorable shopping experiences.

4. International Women’s Day Promotion (5/3/2025 - 9/3/2025)

applicable for individual charm purchases. This voucher, valid until 15/3/2025, encourages
customers to buy more charms to complete their collection, making the shopping experience
both exciting and rewarding.

=> REASONS
Women’s Day is a significant event that encourages gifting, making it the perfect opportunity
to highlight the Smile and Eat Collection. By incorporating blindbox charms, the campaign
adds an element of surprise and collectability, creating excitement and encouraging additional
purchases to complete charm collections. The inclusion of a 50% discount voucher for future
charm purchases fosters repeat buying behavior and strengthens customer loyalty. This
strategy not only boosts sales of the Smile and Eat Collection but also differentiates
Chautfifth through its innovative and customer-centric approach. The playful and
customizable nature of the campaign appeals to customers seeking unique and thoughtful
Women’s Day gifts, enhancing the emotional value of their purchases while driving
engagement and brand visibility.

PERIOD 3: 10/3 - 31/03:


1. Campaign “đánh giá nhận quà”
Encourage customers to share their experiences by leaving reviews with photos on
Shopee/Lazada for products they’ve purchased. This not only increases the credibility of the
products but also improves their visibility on e-commerce platforms. To motivate this action,
Chautfifth will immediately provide a 10% discount voucher for the next order once the
review is verified, creating an incentive for customers to return and further engage with the
brand.

=> REASONS
Customer reviews are now a key factor not only in building trust for products but also in
enhancing visibility on e-commerce platforms. Platforms like Shopee and Lazada prioritize
products with numerous positive reviews, giving them a competitive edge in attracting new
buyers. Additionally, consumers are increasingly influenced by social proof, such as real-life
images shared by previous customers. By encouraging reviews with photos, this campaign
helps improve product perception and boosts repeat purchases, especially during the period of
maintaining sales momentum after major campaigns.

2. Special discount for new customers


New customers on Shopee, Lazada, or TikTok Shop will receive a 10% discount voucher
for their first purchase. This is an effective way to attract new customers, allowing them to
experience Chautfifth’s products at a reduced cost while creating an opportunity to convert
them into loyal customers in the future.

=> REASONS
In the highly competitive e-commerce market, attracting new customers is a critical challenge
for expanding the consumer base. Many customers are hesitant to try shopping from
unfamiliar brands, especially when they lack prior experience or trust in the product quality.
Therefore, launching a special offer for new customers is an effective solution for Chautfifth
to target potential buyers and increase conversion rates through an appealing first-purchase
experience. Moreover, platforms like Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok Shop actively support
promotions for new users, providing an excellent opportunity for the brand to maximize this
advantage.

IV. Forecast
1. Total market potential
The fashion and handbag consumption market in Vietnam is undergoing significant changes,
particularly driven by the growth of online shopping channels combined with traditional retail
methods. Along with economic development and changes in consumer habits, the demand for
handbags is also increasing. However, instead of simply seeking products for storage, today's
customers have higher demands for quality, design, and aesthetics. They want handbags that
are not only functional but also reflect their personal style. Key factors influencing this trend
include the boom of e-commerce and shifts in consumer behavior following the pandemic.
According to reports, in 2022, the number of online shoppers in Vietnam reached over 51
million, accounting for more than 70% of the total internet-using population, with spending
on online shopping reaching $12.42 billion. The Vietnam E-commerce White Paper 2022
recorded that clothing, footwear, and handbags accounted for 69% of the products purchased
online.
In 2022, 50% of Vietnamese consumers expressed a desire to shop online more in the future.
This signals robust growth in online channels, particularly for fashion products like handbags,
where convenience and quick experiences are top priorities. On the other hand, 42% of
consumers still prefer in-store shopping, especially for high-end handbags.
As of 2024, the handbag market in Vietnam is projected to generate approximately US$0.66
billion in revenue. This market is expected to grow at an annual rate of 5.44% from 2024 to
2029, reaching an estimated US$0.86 billion by 2029.

specific, and relevant insights to their trainees.
