Abstract
The aim of this paper is to combine traditional handicraft techniques such as leather carving, leather dyeing and embroidery with modern technology to create an innovative fabric decoration technique that combines traditional leather techniques with French embroidery in the production process and to maximise the surface of ultra-thin leather products. In addition to the embroidery process.New directions of thinking for the design industry in a new era. The project is an innovative design through the study of the fusion of Eastern and Western cultures, the design will fill the gap in the innovative design of leather surfaces with a certain degree of technicality and aesthetics.

Pre-fabric research
We will present two sections the origins and development of leather sculptures and their contemporary use and the origins and development of French embroidered fabrics and their contemporary use.During the Zhou dynasty,according to documents,there was a special department for the study of leather technology and the research was systematically documented, making China the first country in the world to have a written record of leather craftsmanship.Leather with carved patterns originated with the nomads in the north.Later, royalty demanded that artisans carve patterns into the leather as decoration,using it as a noble gift.However, this technique was taught privately and not publicly for a long time. In recent years, it has also taken off in China.The techniques used are similar to those used in bamboo and wood carving.Embroidery is a traditional decorative technique that uses a needle to pierce silk or other fibres or materials in a certain way on the embroidered material to create a pattern or design with embroidery marks.Many large embroidery houses have opened in Paris, the capital of fashion.
Leather and embroidery are becoming increasingly popular in the garment industry, with different designs going around the world from ancient times to the present day.This paper is based on the innovative idea of combining the traditional Chinese leather carving and leather dyeing techniques with the French embroidery of Lesage,fusing traditional Chinese and Western culture and craftsmanship.French embroidery uses different techniques on the same material to create a series of effects.The experiments began with the dyeing and engraving of the cowhide fabric as the dyeing of the leather would contaminate the silk threads,so it was planned that the cowhide fabric would be dyed and engraved first,and in the experiments 3mm and 1.5mm were tried respectively as the cowhide fabric needed to be engraved in three dimensions, the cowhide fabric used in the experiments could not be thinner than 1mm,and after the engraving,3mm was too thick and1.5mm was chosen.The first experiment in French embroidery used French embroidery metallic thread, the effect was not satisfactory,there would be broken threads, stripped silk,the second experiment used hook and bead thread,broken threads and stripped silk,were alleviated, but it did not match the size of the leather eyelet,the third experiment used French embroidery nylon jewellery thread,the effect was good toughness.
In summary, we have made further research into the details of technical injuries.The most important issue for us is that French embroidery techniques are often used on silk and woven fabrics,whereas traditional embroidery techniques are used on thick fabrics.
Business venture
We plan to put this fabric into production and use it as the main fabric while designing and making accessories. We plan the studio to mainly promote product design the innovative fabric decoration technology of this traditional leather craft and three-dimensional embroidery precision combination is perfectly used in the production process of the product,add fashion elements in line with the current fashion trend in addition to maximizing the improvement of the surface embroidery process of ultra-thin leather products,and carry out the derivative re-creation of the design.The audience is wide,mechanical production is introduced and consumers choose their own consumption according to their needs. In terms of business model,we choose to cooperate with fashion brands.We combine traditional and fashionable elements used our unique craftsmanship,fusing the West with the Chinese. In terms of publicity, new media and social software can also be used to promote and spread the word.All in all,as the clothing market has become more and more differentiated in recent years,consumer demand is also more inclined to personalisation and uniqueness,which also raises the requirements for clothing design developers and the higher the requirements for brand positioning accuracy,where leather craft products will also develop towards the trend of personalised products.The combination of three-dimensional leather crafts and French embroidery is an innovative use of fabric made of leather crafts with new and strange characteristics,based on the combination of traditional crafts and modern design,we have high technical requirements for the production process,the combination of leather carving and embroidery makes it a unique sense of beauty,use and collection value.
