The expense in producing fine leather goods is the labor costs. It's a craft which requires much training and/or experience, and highly-skilled leatherworkers do not come cheaply.
- Scoundreller 7y agoIs there any reason why someone in a developing country couldn't be trained to do it? It's definitely not a niche skill.
