 REUSING
Importance of Reusing:
Difference between Reuse and
Recycle.
Benefits society and avoids wasting
good materials
Inceases the life span of the worn
one.
Annual worn out leather goods
can be reused
FOOTWEAR(35%)

UPHOLSTERY(30%)

GARMENTS(25%)

OTHERS(10%)
 RELIVING
At the early times the leather is only material
they used for everything
 dress
 ornament
utensils
weapon
musical instrument
So, We can also relive our past not fully but
effectively…………….
 REVIVING
Here, reviving all that we mean is about “Giving new life to worn leather
goods”.
Making new artefacts out of old worn leathers.
It deals with both pros and cons.
PROS:
Joy of making new artefacts.
Cheap raw material
Even a Small piece of leather is not left waste, it is again uesd to make
some valuable things.
Can avoid waste deposition.
To fulfil the needs of younger generation’s trend.
CONS:
No skilled manpower.
Still now there is no cottage/small scale industry to manufacture these
artefacts.

 PROCESS
PLANNING:
Planning needs some
innovative thinking and
fresh ideas that are to be
imparted in our
artefacts.

DESIGNING:
The idea in our mind
should be drawn out .
CUTTING OUT:
Cut the drawn pattern
accurately with the help of
sharp knives and some
instruments.

GLUING:
Gluing is used to hold
gussets and pattern
pieces in position
ready for stitching.
HAND STITCHING:
The master one and vital
technique is the hand
stitching which not only
looks good but also very
much stronger than
machine stitching.
FINISHING:
The finishing is done to give
asthetic look by pasting some
beads, stones, and through
dyeing and colouring.

 CHALLENGES WE FACE :

SOURCE
LABOUR
PRODUCTION HOUSE
PLACE TO SELL
PRIMARY SOURCE :From
SOURCE
industries
i. trimming waste and
ii. during product making
from companies.
SECONDARY SOURCE: From
costomers,
We can make ideas such that now they
are following in Jewellery shops ,
we can return gold from where we
initially bought, and for that value
we can get another Jewellery . This
technique can also be followed in
leather goods selling companies .
We can have two advantage over
this:
 we can get worn goods for making
our product.
 catchhold of customers.
 LABOUR
For Labour, we can take
assistance of nomad and tribal
people who are semi-skilled in
this section. We can just train
them like CLRI-CLAD and take
out products made by them.This
also ensures employment to
them.
PRODUCTION HOUSE
Production place must
be chosen such that
everything is available
for the labour to
produce their
artefacts. Having all
these in our mind we
can choose CLRI as
our production place
where we could get
our raw material to
make our products.
 PLACE TO SELL
•We have seen many handicrafts
are being sold in
“DAKSHINACHITRA”.
•We might also sell our artefacts
over there, such that our product
is exposed to tat all sort of buyers
both foriegners and our peoples.
