Leather for Footwear & Accessories

Vietnam's footwear industry is one of the world's largest export hubs — and one of the most demanding for materials. Footwear leather must be soft enough to form to the foot, breathable enough to prevent heat build-up, durable enough to flex millions of times, and light enough to keep finished shoe weight competitive.

Việt Kai microfiber leather is thin and light (1.0–1.2mm depending on spec), softer than traditional PU thanks to its microfibre matrix, more breathable than PVC, and a vegan choice valued by end consumers — critical for sustainable footwear brands exporting to US, EU and Japan.

The entire Việt Kai range carries OEKO-TEX Standard 100 (safe for direct skin contact), REACH (free of EU-banned chemicals) and GRS (Global Recycled Standard) — the minimum certification stack international footwear brands require during supplier audits.

Technical requirements for footwear

• Custom thickness 0.6–2.0mm — covers slip-ons through boots.
• High Bally flex tolerance — withstands millions of bends without cracking.
• Breathable — prevents heat build-up under sustained use.
• OEKO-TEX Standard 100 — safe for direct foot-skin contact.
• REACH compliant — free of chemicals banned in the EU market.
• GRS — meets recycled-content requirements of sustainable footwear brands.
