Description
Welcome to this exciting course, as it uses easily-available products as raw materials to start your own business! Leather products are goods made from animal hide that has been processed and tanned. This can include items such as bags, shoes, belts, jackets, and furniture. Leather is known for its durability, flexibility, and timeless style. No wonder why leather products are very expensive and in short supply. Sadly, though, most of the lather used in developed countries comes from developing countries and they buy it at lower prices because they have to process it themselves. Therefore, manufacturing our own leather products allows us to control the market price as we will charge the price of finished products and not those of raw materials; we also get to determine the quality of the materials used and the production process. This can lead to higher quality products that are durable and long-lasting. Additionally, producing our own leather products can help support local economies and businesses by creating jobs and stimulating economic growth. It also allows for more customization and personalization options for consumers. Fortunately, this course will help you manufacture your own shoes, hats and belts using the leather you have at your disposal. Follow the instructions and you will be all set for success. All the best.
