When did leather goods come into fashion?

Since the beginning of time, people have utilized leather as a useful protection material. To live and make tools for a more simple life, humans generally employed all the animal parts that are possible. For instance, walking and exploring were made more enjoyable through the use of leather footwear.

The hides of big enough creatures could also be utilized to create clothing. Fur-covered leather provided a lot of warmth in cooler temperatures. In warmer climates, hides were used to protect against the sun and to stay cool. The primary focus of the craft was functionality.

Leather is used in many ways over the years as society and humanity have evolved. It was eventually used to make jewellery as well as boots, satchels, writing tables, tents and armour. It was considered to be an emblem of prestige in many cultures. The function and aesthetics became more important in the craft of leather.

 History Of Leather

Leather, an excellent illustration of human imagination and determination, has played a significant role in the development of civilization. It has been a regular part of almost every period in design and fashion, right from the time of the first man until the current.

As early as the time when man began using primitive types of leather for garments and to protect himself from weather conditions, the benefits of using animal skins were first realized. The first known leather artifacts were made by tribes of prehistoric times about 1300 BC and people began to appreciate animal skins not just as sources of food. The early civilizations across the world started to devise their own methods of creating and keeping their by-products of animal skins employing techniques that were passed by fathers to sons over several generations, including the use of smoke and the grease of animals. It is believed that the early Hebrew people were the first to find out about vegetable tanning as we see it in the present day.

Around 1200 BC in the Homeric period during the Homeric period, the Ancient Greeks are known to use leather for the creation of sandals and other clothes. The manufacture of leather was able to be exported across Egypt and the Middle East, where Pharaohs and Queens were enthralled by the material, and then to Rome which was where foot soldiers often made use of it for armour and protective clothing.

The scale that production and the methods employed to make leather increased as societies became sophisticated and sophisticated. To ensure the ownership of the tools and oversight over supplies of raw materials, highly skilled leather artisans and tinners in the Middle Ages began to organize advanced trade guilds. The vegetable tanning method was not replaced with a new technique until the 19th century. Chrome tanning is the use of chemicals to simplify the process of production and remove some of the basic steps required for traditional vegetable tanning. Nowadays, chromium is utilized in between 80 and 90 percent of tanning methods worldwide.

Because of its popularity in the Victorian time period, The use of leather goods was long associated with the bookbinding industry and is also utilized to make clothing. The first editions of the books of famous authors such as Charles Dickens and Oscar Wilde can fetch several hundred pounds in the auction due to the fact that they were immortalized with gold-plated leather.

Origins of leather making

A technique that has been in use for over 7700 years has been producing leather. Fresh skins were dried under the sun and softened by smashing them with brains and fats from animals Then they were kept through burning and salting. The Egyptians and Hebrews created the process of tanning with vegetables in the year 400 BCE. They started with basic drying and curing techniques. The Arabs developed the process of making leather in their time in the Middle Ages, preserving it and creating leathers such as cordovan (from Cordoba, Spain) and morocco highly valuable. European tanning on leather was becoming increasingly popular in the 15th century and in the middle to the end of the 19th century motorized machines were in use for tasks such as splitting, fleshing and dehairing. The 19th century’s end was the time for chemical tanning that made use of tannin bark made from sumac, oak, and hemlock, in addition to chrome salts.

Modern leather making

The preparation for tanning, the tanning and the processing of leather items that have been tanned are the three main steps of the modern manufacturing process for commercial leather. The hide needs to be carefully shaved and kept in good condition throughout storage and transport before it is able to be transported to a tanning plant. Within a matter of hours after an animal’s departure, the hide can begin to break down and to prevent this from happening, the hide must be dried out using a process known as curing. It could include air drying, wet or dry salting, or picking using acids and salts prior to being transported to a tanning facility.

The hide is immersed in the tannery in order to eliminate water-soluble compounds and restore it to its soft, natural form. Hair is usually removed using a machine after being relaxed through the practice that is known as “liming,” which involves the hides being soaked in a mixture that consists of lime and water. The hide is cleaned and deemed, then baited (enzymatic extraction of non-fibrous proteins to enhance colour and softness), and pickled (to give cleansing and make it soft).

Artificial leather

The 19th century was when several of the first substitutes for leather were invented. German chemical engineer Christian Friedrich Schonbein created nitrocellulose (guncotton) in 1845, and French scientist Louis-Nicolas Menard transformed it into collodion (pyroxylin) in 1846. The first time collodion was used was to protect wound dressings prior to being added to the fabric. This was when the DuPont Fabrikoid firm invented and developed the cotton fabric that was patented by the name of Fabrikoid around 1910. It was used extensively in books, upholstery as well as linings and car covers due to the fact that it was waterproof. Since the 1920s, purses for women were the first that used Naugahyde, a fabric that was covered by leather fibres and rubber, long before it was used in different sectors of the market. Since the 1960s the 1960s, polyurethane and polyvinyl chloride-coated or infused products have been the most well-known imitation leather choices as they mimic genuine leather’s toughness and appearance.
