The leather fashion industry has always been one of China’s important industries with a higher degree of industrial agglomeration and internationalization. After 30 years of precipitation, adjustment and reform, it is now marching towards a stage of in-depth innovation. Based on the analysis of the current situation of the leather industry and leather wear design, this paper puts forward the main status and problems faced by the Chinese leather wear design: style convergence, seasonal limitations, environmental issues, and talent problems. According to the characteristics of materials, craftsmanship and structure of leather wear, this paper attempts to propose specific design strategies from the following perspectives: design resource integration, design methods, design thinking, and collaborative innovation. These perspectives provide the following four aspects of innovation strategies for advancing the overall desgin level as well as design value for Chinese Leather wear: integration and optimization of design resources, innovation in design methods, improvement of design thinking, cross-border collaborative innovation and joint efforts of the government, enterprises, and colleges. On this basis, this paper explores and studies development ideas, and thus puts forward four suggestions on new directions of Chinese leather wear design, that is technology, refinement of positioning, branding and sustainability.
