You should ignore any accessories and add-ons such as: • spikes • bars • nails • protectors and similar attachments Reinforcements Reinforcements are parts such as leather or plastic patches that are attached to the outside of the upper to give it extra strength. They may or may not be attached to the sole. To be treated as a reinforcement, an attached part must cover material that's suitable for use as an upper, not just lining material. If an attached part covers just a small area of lining material it's treated as...

...or the best friend’s house, we find ourselves looking at coffee cups to add to the cupboard. I don’t consciously collect too many things. Ironically I DO have a small collection of Starbucks coffee cups, but I’m getting it under control. One group of items that I have collected for many years and have a deep appreciation for is my assortment of Coach products. I’ve learned, through 10 plus years of collecting Coach, that most people associate the company with lady’s purses and handbags. The truth is the company is quite diverse and offers a large selection of high quality products, giving avid treasure seekers like me many opportunities to find additions to our collection. Coach, Inc., as we know it today, began life in 1941 in a Manhattan, NY loft with six artisan leatherworkers handcrafting small leather goods like wallets and handbags. The small company was modestly successful until, in 1961, things changed. Miles Cahn, who was running the company at the time, came across a method of processing leather that produced a soft yet strong and durable product. During this time, most purses and handbags were constructed with...

The leather industry, is closely linked with the meat industry, that is, the leather is a byproduct of the meat processing operation, the demand for shoes, belts and clothes which are made by leather directly contributes to preserve farms and slaughterhouses, since it is the most valuable byproduct of the meat industry. 70% of China’s rivers, lakes and reservoirs in China are now classified as polluted.

Many chemicals released from the textile mills put threat to human health and the environment.

PHILLIPS2 Institute for Creative Leather Technologies, School of Science and Technology, University of Northampton, Boughton Green Road, Northampton, NN2 7AL, U.K. 2 Environmental and Materials Sciences, School of Science and Technology, University of Northampton, Avenue Campus, Northampton, NN2 6JD, U.K. Abstract The Government of Bangladesh has indentified the leather sector as one with considerable growth and investment potential ranked fifth in the export earning sector. Currently Bangladesh produces and exports quality bovine and ovine, caprine (buffalo and cow; sheep and goat) leathers that have a good international reputation for fine textured skins. However, the entire leather sector meets only 0.5% of the world’s leather trade worth US$75 billion. There are about 113 tanneries in Bangladesh that produce 180 million square feet of hides and skins per year. In addition there are about 30 modern shoe manufacturing plants engaged in the production of high-quality footwear, with over 2500 smaller footwear manufacturers also present in the sector. There are around 100 small-to-medium leather goods manufacturers, and a small number of niche larger manufacturers. The sector directly employs approximately 558 000 people. Most of the tanneries do not have proper effluent plants and generate 20 000m3 tannery effluent...

...Submitted by WWW.ASSIGNMENTPOINT.COM Footwear is a traditional export item of Bangladesh. Footwear produced from high quality leather in the country enjoys a good reputation worldwide for their quality. The country, however, has a growing success in this sector. The business experts believe that export earnings from the sector could be substantially increased if we use advanced technology to produce high quality footwear. This, however, depends on adoption of appropriate policies on the part of the government and business community to develop the sector. The products must be improved to satisfy the quality requirements demanded by the consumers of the international market especially of the developed world. The low wage rate and poor enforcement of environmental laws and rules have given the country’s footwear sector a comparative advantage in the world market. Moreover, the country enjoys duty exemption under the GSP (Generalized System of Preference) from the most of the importing countries of the developed world. Bangladesh also enjoys a reduction of Tariff and other non-Tariff barriers from WTO (World Trade Organization). While this provide an opportunity for a country like Bangladesh to boost up its export. 1.2 Objectives: The objectives of this study are as follows: 1.2.1 To know about the environment of selected products sectors- Footwear. 1.2.2 To know about the overall international trade statistics for...

Products / Service Descriptions Starting a new venture in Brazil on leather goods, they must start looking to “take advantage of differences in the cost, and quality of production” (Hill, 2009).

...[pic] Leather Industry Capability Map The Australian Industry The Australian leather industry consists of bovine (cattle), kangaroo and sheepskin tanning industries (either part or fully processed). The overall leather industry employs around 2700 people in Australia and has close to $1 billion in revenue. The vast majority of this is from the export of pre-tanned or raw hides which in 2010 was close to $700 million. Production Leather is a textile product made from the skin of animals that has been chemically treated or ‘tanned’ to give it desirable properties such as resilience, flexibility and a whole range of specifications that can be required by end users. The main raw material for leather, the skins or hides, is essentially a by-product of animals slaughtered for meat. A typical skin in its raw state is worth only a fraction of the total value of an animal, so livestock are slaughtered according to market conditions for meat rather than the demand for leather. Australia has large herds of cattle and sheep as well as a large wild kangaroo population giving it a natural advantage in the availability, locally, of a naturally recurring raw material resource which constitutes a significant proportion of the total cost of production. Australia produces approximately 8 million cattle, 24 million sheep and 1.5 million kangaroo hides per annum based on available slaughter numbers. However, Australian finished leather producers must compete with...

First of all because, it is original a Belgian Brand. But most of all I love the brand because of it’s high level of craftsmanship. They have a lot of know how and intelligence. The designs the House makes are timeless with a very high quality of leathers. They are not humping on the trends they keep designing functional new creations. They have a certain hautain-look and that makes their Brand very strong. There is no room for unprofessionalism. Introduction History Charles Delvaux opened his first workshop in the centre of Brussels 1829. In 1883 the family were appointed official suppliers to the Royal Court, but less than 40 years later, after the end of the Great War, Delvaux no longer had the wherewithal to design or make its own bags, and the business was reduced to a single shop-front. The company was purchased in 1933 by a young entrepreneur then freshly returned from the Congo. Franz Schwennicke developed a vision of Delvaux as a hothouse of creative...

...Today, the debate over animal rights is widely spread around the world. A lot more leather and fur companies found the business over making clothes from real animal skin, very beneficial for making a lot of money. Usually, those companies follows fashion and demands of famous people because they can bring the companies a lot of money. Therefore, many non famous people look up to the famous ones and see that they wear expensive fur on their jackets. So, this becomes a huge demand in 21st century. However, there are people who would not wear fur and leather because they stand for the animal rights. The debate whether we should put animals through misery in order to make fashionable and expensive clothes to feel more "sexy", became a sensitive question among people. I think animals should take place in our world not as equal to us but as a kingdom which is the most close to ours. That means we should respect them and satisfy their needs as much as they satisfy ours. The business that deals with making real animal fur and leather became such a good deal today. The companies that work in this business became very popular because the demand for real leather and fur has increased. This demand increased due to the fact that so many famous people wants to wear it. They have a lot of money, so they usually do not care about how much they will spend on clothes and they especially do not care how that clothes is made . Many of them want to look fashionable, to show the world that they...

Musawir Hasan http://edupedia.educarnival.com/ /September 6, 2012 Introduction The contribution of the industry sector to Bangladesh economy has been on the increase. Among the fifteen sectors identified for national income “Leather Industry” is one of them. Industry is the backbone upon which the economy of any country prevails. The growth of economy, the internal development of a nation depends upon the development of industrial sector.

LVMH appears to be the best positioned brand based on their having the highest operating margin and also the fact that they own their distribution networks. This, coupled with their negotiations with other suppliers allowed for them to enjoy discounting advertising benefits by as much as 20 percent. LVMH was also able to move 70 percent of their previously out-sourced distribution back in-house. Another differentiating factor is LVMH’s diversity in their products from other brands like providing fragrances, shoes, and leather goods. - LVMH also had the most notable names in the business. 2) Gucci’s tangible resources include loyal suppliers, human resources, distribution, Human resources include Tom Ford’s and De Sole’s skills, knowledge and commitment.
