Vietnam Luggage Manufacturers: Top Factories and How to Source Luggage from Vietnam
Vietnam is where Samsonite, Osprey, Tumi, and dozens of other global brands already make their luggage. The country exported $3.8 billion in suitcases and bags in 2024 (up 9.7% year over year, per LEFASO), and the factory base continues to grow. If you are looking to source luggage from Vietnam, this guide covers the factories worth knowing about, the products they make, and how the sourcing process works on the ground.

What Types of Luggage Are Made in Vietnam?
Vietnamese factories produce hard-shell suitcases, soft-sided luggage, backpacks, duffel bags, briefcases, travel totes, and specialty items like camera bags and instrument cases.
By Material
Polycarbonate and ABS are the primary materials for hard-shell suitcases. Vietnamese factories produce both single-material and blended shells using injection molding or thermoforming. Polycarbonate is lighter and more impact-resistant but costs more. ABS is more affordable and durable enough for mass-market products.
Nylon and polyester are standard for soft-sided luggage, backpacks, and travel bags. Vietnam has deep supply chains for synthetic textiles. Most factories source fabric domestically or from China, South Korea, and Taiwan. Cordura, ripstop, and ballistic nylon are all available.
Leather and faux leather are used for briefcases, duffel bags, and premium luggage lines. Vietnam has a long history of leather craftsmanship, but most hides are imported (primarily from Italy, South Korea, and Brazil), which affects lead times and costs. In our experience, clients are often surprised that leather luggage from Vietnam can cost 15-25% more than comparable synthetic products because of imported hide costs. If leather is central to your line, budget extra lead time for material sourcing.
Canvas and recycled materials are growing for eco-conscious product lines. Several Vietnamese factories now offer luggage made from recycled PET, organic cotton canvas, and other sustainable textiles.
By Product Type
Vietnam's factories handle the full range of luggage products: spinner suitcases with TSA locks, carry-on and checked sizes, expandable soft-side bags, laptop backpacks, hydration packs, tactical and outdoor packs, rolling duffels, garment bags, and toiletry kits. Many factories also support custom specialty items (golf travel bags, pet carriers, ski bags) on an ODM or OEM basis.

How to Source Luggage from Vietnam
Sourcing luggage from Vietnam works differently than sourcing from China. One of the most common mistakes we see is buyers assuming Vietnamese factories operate the same way Chinese ones do. They often do not, and understanding that upfront saves time and frustration.
Preparing Your Requirements
Before contacting any factory, you need a clear techpack or product specification document. For luggage, this should include materials (shell, lining, zippers, wheels, handles), dimensions, weight targets, color specs, branding requirements, and any compliance standards your market requires. Most Vietnamese factories manufacture entirely based on the buyer's techpack. Some offer design services, but they still need substantive input to work from. Sending a physical reference sample helps, but it does not replace written specifications. We have seen projects stall for weeks because a buyer showed up with only a photo and expected the factory to reverse-engineer the product. The more detailed your specs, the faster you get accurate quotes and usable samples.

Finding Factories
Online directories such as Alibaba, Global Sources, and Made-in-Vietnam list Vietnamese bag and luggage factories. However, in our experience, many of the best Vietnamese luggage factories are not listed on these platforms because they already have enough order volume from existing relationships. For a more complete overview, see our guide to finding suppliers and manufacturers in Vietnam.
Industry associations like LEFASO (Vietnam Leather, Footwear and Handbag Association) maintain member directories and can connect you with verified manufacturers.
Trade shows like the Vietnam Leather & Footwear Exhibition and Vietnam Manufacturing Expo give direct access to factory reps. Most events are in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi.
Sourcing companies with teams on the ground in Vietnam can match you with factories based on your product, volume, and quality needs. Especially useful for first-time buyers, because the factory landscape here is more fragmented than in China.

Getting Quotes and Evaluating Factories
Request quotations that include unit price, MOQ, lead time, tooling costs (if applicable), payment terms, and sample pricing. MOQs for luggage in Vietnam typically range from 300 to 1,000 units per style for soft goods, and are higher for hard-shell products that require custom molds.
When evaluating factories, look for:
Certifications relevant to your market (ISO 9001, WRAP, BSCI, Sedex, OEKO-TEX)
Export experience in your target market (the US, EU, and Japan each have different compliance requirements)
Production capacity that matches your order volume with room for growth
Sample quality and willingness to iterate during development
Communication responsiveness varies widely. Response times can range from same-day to over a week. This is not disinterested; many factories, especially smaller ones, lack dedicated English-speaking sales staff.
Factory Visits
Visit factories before committing to a production order, especially for a first-time relationship. Over the years, we have found that the factories that look best on paper do not always match up in person, and vice versa. Some of our clients' best supplier relationships started with a factory that had a modest website but impressive production floors. For planning help, see our guide to Vietnam sourcing trips.
Quality Control
Pre-production samples are non-negotiable. Approve materials, construction, hardware, and branding before full production begins. During production, schedule in-line inspections and a final random inspection (AQL sampling) before shipment.
Common quality issues in luggage include zipper failures, wheel alignment problems, handle mechanism defects, stitching inconsistencies, and color variation between batches. We have seen entire orders held up by something as simple as a zipper pull that did not match the approved sample. Specify your acceptance criteria clearly in your contract and QC checklist.
US Tariffs on Luggage from Vietnam
As of August 2025, Vietnamese goods entering the US face a 20% reciprocal tariff in addition to the standard HTS duty rate. For luggage under HTS Chapter 42, base MFN rates vary by material: approximately 8% for leather (HTS 4202.11), 17.6% for textile-surface (HTS 4202.12.81), and 20% for plastic-surface (HTS 4202.12.21).
Total duty rates for Vietnamese luggage entering the US currently range from roughly 28% to 40%, depending on material and classification.
In October 2025, the US and Vietnam announced a framework agreement that maintains the 20% reciprocal rate while opening the door for certain products to qualify for 0%. The specifics are still being finalized.

Despite the increase, Vietnam remains competitive. China faces its own tariff stack (Section 301 plus reciprocal measures), and Vietnam's production costs, trade agreements (CPTPP, EVFTA, RCEP), and manufacturing quality continue to attract buyers. We have helped many clients run landed-cost comparisons since the tariff changes, and for most luggage categories, Vietnam still comes out ahead once you factor in the total duty burden on Chinese goods.
Why Source Luggage from Vietnam?
Production maturity. This is not an emerging industry. Factories have supplied global brands for decades, and the workforce in Ho Chi Minh City and surrounding provinces has extensive experience in sewn-goods manufacturing. When we walk factory floors in the luggage sector, the skill level of the sewing operators is consistently impressive, especially for complex multi-compartment designs.
Cost competitiveness. Labor costs remain lower than in China, which directly affects unit economics for labor-intensive products like bags. The government also provides tax holidays and incentives for export-oriented manufacturers in designated industrial zones.
Trade agreement access. Vietnam is a member of the CPTPP, EVFTA, and RCEP, which provide goods with preferential tariff treatment in the EU, the UK, Canada, Japan, Australia, and ASEAN. For brands selling into multiple markets beyond the US, this is a major advantage.
Material versatility. Vietnamese factories work across the full spectrum: polycarbonate, ABS, leather, canvas, nylon, and recycled fabrics. This allows buyers to source multiple product lines from a single country.
Sustainability momentum. More manufacturers are investing in recycled materials, energy-efficient production, and environmental certifications. For brands facing sustainability requirements from retailers or regulators, Vietnam offers increasingly viable options. See our guide to Vietnam's manufacturing capabilities for more.
