Our story
Since 2005, Kottai Shoes has manufactured and exported leather footwear from Ambur — a place where leather craft is part of the industrial landscape.
The factory works with modern technologies and industrial methods to make products for international markets, while remaining close to the values and savoir-faire of skilled artisans. Multi-skilled professionals across design, production, quality and logistics give the company its distinctive difference — and its ability to serve buyers across continents.
Kottai Shoes has taken advantage of the synergies around it while retaining its own identity, remaining faithful to a focused model: manufacturing and exporting leather footwear with precision, reliability and care.
A manufacturing town, a focused factory.
Kottai Shoes is based in Thuthipet, Ambur, in the Vellore district of Tamil Nadu — a region long associated with leather. The factory works with modern technologies and industrial methods, while remaining close to the craft of skilled professionals.
