TL;DR
In July 2026 a traveler wrote that she had found a couple of shops in Nha Trang selling silk clothing by local designers: good quality, but a dress costs about 4–6 million VND. Handysilk is the best-known dedicated silk shop, though some shoppers look for alternatives after visiting it. Participants warn that silk scarves often turn out to be polyester, so check the fabric composition yourself.
In late July 2026 another shopper wrote that she had bought a lot of silk and linen in Nha Trang: plain dyed silk, dyed linen and embroidered items. In her view the selection is a matter of taste, but it suited her; she offered to share the location privately.
Silk workshops on tours do not guarantee a good selection. In July 2026 a traveler said her tour showed silk being spun on looms and silkworms, but the shop attached to the workshop had an uninteresting range, so she went looking for other places selling silk.
In July 2026 a traveler said she had found a couple of shops in Nha Trang selling good silk clothing by local designers. Prices are higher than usual: around 4–6 million VND per dress. She said she still wears the skirts and tops she bought there a year earlier. She did not name the shops in the discussion.
If you are after silk-embroidered pictures, participants in July 2026 thought they are easier to find than clothing and suggested looking at Cho Dam market. For regular branded clothing they named the Vincom Plaza and Gold Coast malls, and Cho Dam for replicas and a market atmosphere.
Check the fabric composition. In July 2026 a traveler looking for silk scarves wrote that almost everywhere the label said polyester rather than silk. In August another shopper spotted silk scarves of the Silk brand on the second floor of Vincom Plaza, but was not sure it was real silk — check the label and the fabric in person.
Handysilk is the shop travelers name first when looking for natural silk in Nha Trang. In June 2026 one family, having already been there, was looking for other places selling 100% silk clothing — this one shop was not enough for them.
