You can get fake knapsacks, bags and even some clothes (Ask around for the clothes and they will be brought out from the back of some shops ) at the shops on the North side of Hoan Kiem lake. Quality? Mostly poor.
At Tolja (aka the Russian Shop), on the ground floor of Ha Noi Towers, around the corner of the supermarket, you can get supposedly real clothes, boots and some backpacks (Northface, Wolfskin etc) which are seconds and have some flaw. It is a hit and miss what you will find so it pays to go back and check their new stuff.
