The 14th Footwear and Leather Fair 2024 started at the Bandaranaike Memorial International Conference Hall (BMICH) today. The exhibition will be held until Sunday (11).

“High quality, sustained volumes and competitive pricing have been key factors contributing to the success of Sri Lanka's footwear and leather products industry,” organisers said.

“Sri Lanka produces a wide range of modern shoes in many designs for men and women, rubber boots, beach slippers, safety shoes, sports and canvass shoes. Sri Lankan footwear exporters have established suppliers to many high-end international footwear brands,” they said.

It said that high-quality Sri Lankan leather goods in the range of leather gloves, travel bags, backpacks, ladies' handbags, jackets and small leather goods cater to niche international markets. Pix by Kithsiri de Mel

    Hey, entrepreneurs and Diyawannawa policymakers, let's kick off a new trend: exporting rubber flip flops worldwide! With ample materials right here, it's time to give the rubber industry a boost. But why stop there? Think big and dive into the exotic leather market by starting crocodile and snake farms locally. It's a win-win: saving money by sourcing materials at home and earning top dollar for unique products. Just like tea, rubber, coconut, and gems, let's create another cash cow for Sri Lanka.

    It is a great delight to see Sri Lankan products as what we mostly see is substandard imported products. we hope these are in the local market.

    Good looking goods! But can people outside Colombo from ordinary backgrounds afford any of these? The only way goods can be made affordable is to boost the value of the SL Rupee. This happens when the economy gets a kick start and the demand for local exports and services increases resulting in a higher rupee value. This cannot be done in a month, but shouldn't take a decade.

    Bad experience with local products on quality and durability.
