The image illustrates the process of manufacturing leather products.
Overall, the entire process entails three distinct stages: the sourcing of raw material, the involvement of industrial steps, and the final refinement of available products. Additionally, the process is highly machine-driven, requiring minimal manual labor.
In the initial step of the whole process, animal skin is dried and loaded into heavy-duty vehicles that deliver it to a factory. This is where the further steps take place. The skin is washed in a mixture of water and lime. Once this step is complete, washed skin is dipped into a lime liquid before it undergoes flattening.
Subsequently, the semi-ready product is soaked in a tannin substance, blend of water and vegetable matter, before the skin is polished by a machine to remove impurities and improve its overall condition. As soon as the polishing process is ended, the lorry transports it to another factory where, finally, the leather items are ready for retail and everyday application.
