Leather craft in Karnataka traces back to the Sharana movement of the 12th century, when saints such as Sri Haralayya and Smt. Kalyanamma practised tanning and stitching as a sacred vocation under Sri Basavanna.
The hand process — vegetable tanning, hand-stitching, and the open-toe Kolhapuri chappal — carries a Geographical Indication and is made hide by hide in clusters from Athani and Madbhavi regions in Belgaum, pockets of Vijayapura and Dharwad in Karnataka.
To organise and support these artisan families, the Government of Karnataka established the Leather Industries Development Corporation of Karnataka (LIDKAR), which continues to market GI Kolhapuri footwear and handcrafted leather bags.
