This research is motivated by the development of the industrial sector in Indonesia after the implementation of REPELITA II.

Through analysis of archives, interviews, newspapers, and literature studies, this study attempts to describe how the interaction between geographical factors, government policies, and local craftsmen's initiatives has shaped the leather craft industry in Magetan District until now. This study also highlights the challenges faced by industry players, especially during the economic crisis of the late 1990s. Through this study, it is known how the synergy between the tanning industry and the craft industry has created a strong supply chain, thus supporting the sustainability and increasing the competitiveness of craft product from Magetan. in addition, the shift from larger-scale products to home craft has also influenced the social and economic structure of the local community.
