Occupation Overview
Leather products are loved for their unique texture, gloss, flexibility, breathability, as well as their strength and durability. With the continuous improvement of living standards, leather products are increasingly used by a wide range of consumers. For many years, leather has always been the preferred material for luxury and high-end consumer goods, but due to its characteristic of being tanned from animal hides, professional personnel using specialized equipment and products are required for cleaning, maintenance, and repair. In the 1980s, professional leather clothing care shops were popular nationwide. Entering this century, laundries have taken on the maintenance of leather clothing and goods, while the rise of shoe shining shops, with their professionalism in leather care, have increasingly undertaken the maintenance and repair of leather shoes, goods, and clothing. Meanwhile, with the growing maturity of leather care and repair technology, especially the gradual rise and improvement of franchising systems, a professional workforce in leather care has been formed, and the role of the leather care industry in economic and social development has become increasingly prominent.
Nowadays, people own more and more high-end leather shoes, leather clothing, leather bags, leather sofas, leather car seats, and other leather products, and the demand for maintenance and repair of leather products is also increasing. More and more people are accustomed to sending their leather products to professional and trustworthy care shops to be handled by professionals, which has greatly expanded the development space for the leather cleaning and care industry, and at the same time requires more professional leather care and repair personnel to engage in this industry. Therefore, establishing the new occupation of "Leather Care Specialist" is of great significance for standardizing the behavior of industry practitioners, improving their professional skills, and promoting the healthy and rapid development of the industry.
