Anh Thu carries crocodile-leather goods. A belt priced at about RUB 3,000 had crocodile leather on the outer side and cowhide on the inner side. The shop has favorable quality reports, but buyers should inspect items themselves.

On the second floor of Vincom Plaza, shoppers found bags, wallets, and belts, including bags described as python and crocodile leather. Footwear selection was limited: the flip-flops were not appealing, and no small backpacks were available.

Only a handful of shops in Nha Trang sell crocodile leather goods with a certificate. Elsewhere, what is sold as crocodile leather may actually be embossed calfskin.
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.
