Glitter‑coated synthetic leather pairs a shimmering film with durable PU, PVC, or microfiber bases. It brings a controlled sparkle to shoes, bags, apparel accents, and decorative panels. Stable color, consistent shine, and dependable wear make it suitable for fashion and functional use.
Key Features of Glitter Leather
Consistent Sparkle and Colorfast Effects
Uniform particle sizes and secure bonding deliver high brilliance with minimal flake‑off. Advanced coatings improve resistance to light and rubbing, keeping the finish vivid indoors and outdoors.
Durable, Flexible Backings for Daily Wear
Engineered bases balance bend endurance, tear strength, and a comfortable handfeel. Ideal for sneakers, kids’ shoes, and everyday bags where repeated flexing is common.
Performance Options for Demanding Conditions
Available finishes include waterproof, breathable, antibacterial, and flame‑retardant options to meet hygiene and safety needs. Treatments are applied without dulling the shine.
Materials and Constructions
PU Glitter Leather - Soft Handfeel for Fashion Footwear and Apparel
The PU option offers a soft drape and premium touch for fashion sneakers, heels, jackets, and accessories. Good cold resistance and flex performance support long‑term wear.
PVC Glitter Leather - Cost‑Effective Shine for Crafts and Décor
The PVC option delivers bright, mirror‑like sparkle with strong printability and abrasion resistance at a competitive cost. Suitable for trims, seasonal décor, labels, and small leather goods.
Microfiber Glitter Leather - Recyclable Microfiber Base with High Abrasion
A microfiber base provides tensile strength, breathability, and high abrasion resistance. It is recyclable and suits sports shoes, school bags, and durable accessories.
