TL;DR
Leather goods quality in Nha Trang is questionable — even belts from official crocodile leather shops can delaminate within a year. Local cosmetics brands like Cocoon are considered a safer buy.
Even after handling items in-store, it's hard to tell if bags and shoes are genuine leather. Shoppers report uncertainty even after physically inspecting products.
Clothing and footwear are mostly fakes. A belt purchased at an official crocodile leather factory store delaminated within a year due to poor glue and stitching. However, local body and hair cosmetics brands like Cocoon are worth buying.
Dried crocodile meat vacuum-packed is available in Nha Trang souvenir and specialty shops.
