The given image illustrates the process by which leather goods are made.

Overall, there are 10 stages in this procedure, starting from drying the skin and finishing with
producing leather items such as bags or shoes.

If we examine the stages in detail, we can see that initially animal skin is hanged and dried and
after that is taken to a factory by a lorry. Once inside, it is washed in a liquid that is a mixture of
water and lime and, following that, the skin is soaked in lime solely.

Once the skin is flattered by a special machine, it is then soaked again but this time in Tannin,
which is a liquid composed of water and vegetable matter. Subsequently, it is polished and a
lorry is used to take the product to a different factory, where various leather goods such as balls,
bags, shoes will be produced from this material.
