Leather Goods Manufacturing , Industry oriented course

3EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Leather and Leather Products sector is one of the important sectors among the various
constituents of the manufacturing sector in India, mainly due to its contribution towards
employment. It is one of the unique sectors which have the advantage of the both value
addition and export potential. It also contributes significantly to total manufacturing output
and exports from the country.
Leather industry has massive potential for employment, output growth and export. The sector
is one of the top eight foreign exchange earners worth over Rs. 10000 crores per annum and
accounts for 3% of the global leather-related trade of Rs. 387200 crores. An estimated 15%
of total purchase of leading global brands in footwear, garments, leather goods &
accessories in Europe, and 10 percent of global supply is outsourced from India. Leather
industry has undergone dramatic transformation in the recent years from a mere exporter of
raw materials in the sixties to that of value added finished products in the nineties.
The Indian leather industry comprises of both organized and unorganized and organized
sectors. The organised manufacturing sector broadly consists of tanning and dressing of
leather manufacture of luggage, handbags saddlery, harness and footwear. Currently
unorganized sector plays a dominant role in the entire production. The small scale, cottage
and artisan sectors account for over 75 per cent of the total production and majority of them
belong to unorganized sector. Though footwear is produced by both large and small scale
sector, the small scale sector has almost 90 per cent share in the total production of footwear
in India.

1991-92 to 2007-08. Major export destinations are Germany, USA, UK, Italy and Hong
Kong. India’s exports of finished leather have been growing at the rate of 6.42% during
1993-94 to 2007-08. Hong Kong is one of the major export destinations of finished leather
products. Hong Kong cornered the largest share (42%) of India’s finished leather export in
2007-08.

of 3.50% during 1991-92 to 2007-08. The leading importer of Indian leather footwear is UK
followed by Germany, USA, Italy, etc.
Leather Goods: India’s exports of leather goods have been decreasing at the rate of 2% per
annum during 1991-92 to 2007-08 period. Germany’s position as the major destination of
India’s leather goods exports during the early 90’s has changed drastically. UK, Spain,
Netherlands, Australia, UAE and Belgium have all increased their imports from India.

the annual rate of 8.96% in the period of 1995-96 to 2007-08. However, the export shares of
USA, Germany, France, Netherlands and Australia have been declining.
Globalisation and Prospects for Indian Leather Sector
Currently India has a share of 2.3 per cent (i.e. US $ 2 billion) of global trade of leather and
leather products. India has a large and growing middle class of about 250 million people with
good purchasing power. Global players in the leather business, big or small are today
focusing increasingly on India's domestic market.
The livestock is the raw material for the leather industry. Cattle, buffaloes, goat and sheep
are the four live stock species which provide the basic raw materials for the leather industry.
India ranks first among major livestock holding countries in the world. In fact, India has the
capacity to fulfil 10% of the global leather requirement. The annual availability of 218
million good quality pieces of hides and skins is the main strength of the industry. Along with
rich endowment of raw materials, the industry has access to abundant supply of cheap labour.
Over the years through government support the industry has been able to develop its R & D
facilities considerably. Though there is much to be done in order to meet the challenges of
globalization, the industry has established a sound base for the same.

Lets make
A fabric
carry bag

22I made these bags for all the craft projects I have on the go. The idea is
to fill them with everything you need to work on your project and
hang them out of the way on coat hangers in the
wardrobe ready to grab at a moment’s notice and start crafting.
The removable labels are to tell you what project is in what bag.
Alternatively, leave the label off altogether to use as a regular tote.
What we need
 1/2 metre of fabric per bag
 vinyl plastic*
 cardboard or paper for labels
 sewing tools, ruler / tape measure, scissors
etc

23
Cut these pieces
 2 x 45cm x 35cm pieces for the body of the bag
 2 x 35cm x 6cm pieces for the handles
 1 x 10cm x 6cm piece of vinyl
 1 x 9cm x 5cm piece of cardboard

24
Make the pocket
Using a ruler, find the horizontal
centre of your bag and pin your
plastic label in place. I put the label
about 9cm from the top of the bag.
Stitch around the three sides of the
label with a 3/8” seam leaving the
top open.

25
Make the handles
Fold the handles in half lengthwise right sides
together and sew along the seam.
Turn the handles right side out. I find a chopstick
helpful for this job.

26
Start the bag seam
This bag has a French seam, which makes the seam nice and tidy with no raw edges inside. Start by
sewing a 1/4” seam around the edge of the bag, leaving the top open, wrong sides together.
Trim the corners and the seams.

27
Press
Turn the bag wrong side out and press the
seams. Be careful not to iron over the plastic as
the hot iron could melt it.
Press the handles.
finish the seam
While the bag is wrong side out, stitch a 3/8”
seam around the edges encasing the raw edges
within the seam.
Press.

28Square off the bottom
Line up the side seams with the bottom seam to make a triangle. Pin and
measure 3cm from the tip of the triangle. Rule a line and sew along to
square off the bag bottom.

29
Stitch Bottom side with lining together

30
Hem the top and add the handles
With the bag turned wrong side out, turn the top down about 1cm and press. Make sure the side
seams are facing the same way at the top as at the bottom of the bag.
Using your ruler, find the half way point on one side of your bag and measure 2cm either side of the
middle. Mark with a pencil.
Place your handles on
these marks.
Turn the hem down a
further 1cm over the
handles as pictured and
pin in place.

31
Repeat on the other
side of the bag and
sew around the top
of the bag, securing
the hem.

32
Turn the handles up and pin in
place.
Top stitch around the top of the
bag, securing the handles in place.
Finishing

33
Add your label to your bag and we’re done.

34REVERSIBLE BAG
Dimensions in approximate:
from top of straps to bottom of bag: 50 cm / 20 inches
height: 28 cm / 11 inches
width: 40 cm / 16 inches

36
Put set B in set A, right sides
together, and sew around the
straps.
Stop stitching about 20 cm
before the tops of the straps.
If your machine has reverse
stitch, use it on each end of
stitching's to secure it.
Clip rounded corners

37
Turn the right sides out through one of the straps. It will be a bit difficult at first and you’re
gonna wonder if you’re doing it right, but just keep doing it.
You will feel a thug and after that the bag will turn right sides out smoothly.
Pull out each of the remaining straps.

38
Look! we almost have a bag!
Sew the straps of each set
together. I often
sew the straps absent-
mindedly and then
found out that I've attached
them wrong!
So please make sure that you
sew each
strap to the strap beside it,
NOT the strap
that is in front of it.

39
Press the seams open. Fold seam
allowances on straps and press.
Also press edges of bag to make it easier
for topstitching. 8

40
Match the tops seams together and pin all
open edges of straps.
You can also use fusible tapes to make sure
it is neat. But I will use pins here.

41
Topstitch all edges of bag. I use different colour
thread for the bobbin.
