The leather industry is one of the most significant industries in the world, and the footwear market is an essential part of it. India, which is in second place among nations that produce shoes, is a major player in the world economy and has a lot of potential for growth, creating jobs, and exporting shoes. India's footwear manufacture is inherently rooted in manual manufacturing procedures, which contribute to the craft's authenticity. However, because there aren't enough specialized instruments and equipment made to withstand the demands of physically demanding activities, manual operations frequently confront difficulties like low productivity, safety problems, and performance issues.
India has a wide variety of shoes, but the "Kolhapuri Chappal" is highly regarded for its ageless beauty and grace. Traditionally made of animal leather, the recent prohibition on such materials has had a significant impact on the genuineness of this beloved shoe. As a result, even if the classic style has been maintained, the use of synthetic leather has lost its authenticity. Based on field observations, sustainable leather has been found as a feasible substitute to reinstate the genuineness of Kolhapuri Chappals.
The goal of this study is to find out how well-informed and how often manufacturers in the Kolhapur area are about sustainable leather. It seeks to explain why the craftsmen are reluctant to use sustainable leather when making Kolhapuri Chappals. This study aims to offer insights into the practicality and feasibility of switching to sustainable materials within the traditional art of Kolhapuri Chappal production by analyzing the perceptions, difficulties, and potential adoption obstacles.
