Microfibre 2mm shoe upper material

This is thinner than the material we use for belts, which is 3mm thick. It is floppier.

The material is made of strands as thin as can be made, then made thinner by dissolving some of the strand. The result is a tangle of fibers with a very high ratio of surface area to volume and so a great capacity to absorb. It's like candy-floss. The material is compacted into an absorbent matt, sometimes given a surface coating, and then sent usually from Japan to Europe for further finishing like dying or graining. 

There are much smaller stocks of bright red and white material, and another company had surplus stocks of silver; we could contact them or give you their details. A London importer has several colours of microfibre available by the meter and we could pass-on your details.

This is listed next to belts and belt straps, but too floppy and quick to stretch round the holes for most peoples' taste if used for a belt; it's usually used for shoes. For bags and wallets, a cheaper fabric or 1.5mm microfibre is usual but this 2mm would work for bags and we can cut into small satchel shapes with press knives or other shapes by hand or possibly CNC cutters in future.

We can rent time on a belt-length hydraulic press from a firm that have knives to make belt straps that way, if you want quantity and consistency, and we have an A4 size press here. It just needs a knife made into a pasty-cutter shape so that any shape smaller than A4 can be cut-out..

Knives cost £20 - £100+ to get made. We can suggest suppliers. We have knives for one kind of boot, which takes a lot of knives because of the sizes, and a medium-width belt knife with an adjustable length.

There's another 3mm thick material for belt straps which we keep in much smaller quantities of about 0-1.5 meters at a time, 1.44m wide, and costs us about £1 a cm.

We have  a lot of off-cuts of 3mm belt strap material in belt widths but shorter lengths, suitable for key fobs or wrist cuffs or sometimes long enough to make dog collars. Let us know if you're looking for something like this and we'll give you a quote, either for the rectangle of material or possibly for it made-up into a cuff or a collar. Prices would be lower than for belts.

We can make-up products but don't have any experience in sewing (although there is a machine here); most of our belts have a compression rivet to hold them together or sometimes a screw rivet. 

Microfibre vegan shoe upper material was available for years in London from Twentieth Century Leather, and then Storm Leather, who could sell by the length off a roll from a walk-in warehouse in London. The firm began importing Lorica from Loricasud of Italy. After Loricasud had to close and re-open as Ecolorica.it, Storm decided to be agents for Giardini com of Italy instead. After several changes of address, Storm closed their walk-in service in 2022 and sold-out remaining stock that they call vegan mycro fibre vegan mycro fibre.

This material is onMicro, a different product but indestinguishable and carefully tested to industry standards of absorbency and strength. 

Veganline.com have some manufacturing equipment including lasts in most or all sizes, but nothing hydraulic for stretching or pressing-out shapes, and no actively used sewing machines.
