Diseño de calzado femenino con la aplicación de repujado en cuero

Abstract

Footwear is one of the accessories of the wardrobe of great utility and its use has spread over the years. At first the shoes were simple leather bags used to cover the feet of the inclement weather, debris and other objects that can be found in the environment. However, from the twentieth century to the present day, the processing techniques as well as the materials used have been progressively improving; for the same reason, in the international market you can find a wide variety of footwear, comfortable, quality and with prices according to the purchasing power of the client. However, in the province of Tungurahua there is no great innovation in leather footwear; therefore, this project focuses on the development of footwear with embossing techniques aimed at women aged 25 to 30 years, because the aforementioned artisanal techniques are rare in the local market; but they add value to the product. For this reason, we will work with qualified and specialized craftsmen in the embossing area. These collaborations promote fair trade with price-quality correspondence. Likewise, to determine the type of shoe to be made, materials, additional details, among other aspects; surveys and interviews are conducted. Finally, through the sum of knowledge between the designer and the craftsman; and the proper use and fusion of all the elements that make up the design; it is intended to innovate and generate comfortable, eye-catching, functional and high quality products; to meet the needs of today's women.
