1 Introduction
1.1 Project Brief
The objective of this pre-feasibility study is to provide information regarding
manufacturing of leather goods. The leather goods include items like ladies purses, ladies
handbags, travel bags, waist belts, wallets, briefcases, etc.
This project has the capability of diversifying the product mix and enlarging the product
length by producing other related products with the same infrastructure facilities. Passport
holder, visiting card holder, mobile cover, optical glasses cover, phone index cover, key
chains, camera cases, bandoleers, and hand gloves are some of the products that can be
manufactured in this unit.

Skiving is a process of scuffing the edges of the leather pieces, so that the leather can stick
more effectively.

3.1.3 Folding of edges
Skived edges are folded and different parts are glued before stitching.
3.1.4 Stitching
Glued parts of the product are stitched and unnecessary parts of leather and threads are
removed/picked in this process.

Industry mainly uses locally produced leather; however imported leather is also used, when
specifically required by the buyers/importers for high quality leather goods. Imported as
well as local accessories like zips, locks, buttons, hooks, etc. are available in the market.
4.1 Packing
From commercial point of view, there are leather goods (such as most of the travel goods
and handbags), which are sold over the counter without special packaging and those (e.g.
wallets, engagements pads or diaries) which are mostly presented and sold in their own
(gift) boxes or bags.
Normally, an exporter in Pakistan uses cardboard boxes/cartons of different sizes
depending on the buyer’s specifications and size of the products as packaging material.

5 Production
5.1 Product Mix
The proposed unit can produce a variety of leather products with the same infrastructure
but it has been proposed in this study that the unit will produce the following products
initially in the percentages mentioned below:
Table 5-1 Product Mix Details
Description Production Percentage
Ladies Handbags 10%
Wallets 30%
Belts 50%
Briefcases 10%
Total Production 100%

6 Marketing
The size of local market in Pakistan for leather goods is very small. In order to cater to this
market segment, marketing expenses will considerably rise so, the primary target of this
unit will be the export market. The leather goods for consumer’s amount to almost 90 % of
total goods market, while 10% is for industrial leather goods.
America and Europe are the major markets for leather goods, and account for 85% of total
imports of leather goods in the world.
