The process of permanently marking designs onto leather involves creating indentations or removing material from its surface. One example includes using a laser to burn a precise image into a leather wallet, resulting in a customized accessory.
This technique allows for personalization, branding, and artistic expression on leather goods. Historically, hand tools were employed for this purpose, reflecting skilled craftsmanship. Today, methods range from traditional tooling to advanced laser technology, offering diverse aesthetic outcomes and production efficiencies.
