About CYL Footwears

Fifteen years of craft, trusted across the Gulf

Our Story

A Thailand workshop built on the leather trade

CYL Footwears began as a small Thailand workshop cutting and finishing genuine leather by hand. Fifteen years on, that same bench discipline still governs every pair that leaves the factory — whether it is a classic Arabic sandal or a one-of-a-kind exotic leather commission.

We work in genuine and exotic leathers — crocodile, ostrich and python — sourced and handled to the standards our GCC partners expect, and we have built over 10,000 designs across that time, exported to importers, distributors and premium retailers in all six Gulf Cooperation Council countries.

Today CYL operates as a manufacturer and OEM export partner: private label, fully bespoke runs, and flexible minimum order quantities, all signed off on our own floor before a single pair ships.
