TL;DR
For a budget handbag in Nha Trang, skip the malls where prices often start around $100 and look at local markets or small shops in the tourist area instead. A simple cute bag is usually around 200,000–700,000 VND, while real leather typically starts from about 800,000 VND.

The main advice is to avoid shopping malls: small bags there can easily start at $100 or more. For an everyday budget option, check small stores and kiosks in the center, where the selection is simpler but prices are much lower.

Budget handbags are usually easiest to find at local markets, especially around Xóm Mới Market and Chợ Đầm. For a basic small non-branded bag, a reasonable target price is about 200,000–500,000 VND, especially if you’re willing to bargain a little.

If you want a nicer-looking small handbag with better quality than the cheapest market options, independent accessory shops in the tourist quarter are a better bet. Prices there are often around 300,000–700,000 VND, still much cheaper than in major malls.

For genuine leather, it helps to separate that search from standard mall handbags: in smaller shops, simple real-leather models usually run about 800,000 to 1,500,000 VND. Check the zipper, lining, and stitching before buying, because a high mall price does not always mean better quality.
