Santinikatani style refers to the artistic style initiated by Rabindranath Tagore in 1932 as part of the rural construction and rural reconstruction development program of Visva Bharati University. Santiniketan Leather Goods (SLG) are made from vegetable-tanned skin, known for retaining embossed imprints permanently and developing a glossy surface when rubbed. These leather products come in various sizes, styles (stitched or pasted), and designs, including wallets, handbags, pouches, coin purses, and more.
Geographical area of production:
Santiniketan Leather Goods are produced in the vicinity of Santiniketan.
Proof of origin / Brief History (Historical Records):
SLG production began in 1932 at Vichitra Studio under the guidance of Rabindranath Tagore's son, Rathindranath, and his wife Protima Devi, along with local craftsmen. Over the years, production shifted to Surul Kuthibari and eventually to Sriniketan, where stalwarts like Nandalal Bose, Suren Kar, and Ramkinkar Beji further developed the craft. This initiative integrated traditional Indian techniques with modern methods, resulting in distinctive Art Deco-style products.
Method of Production:
Raw Materials: The main raw material is vegetable-tanned sheep and goat skins, along with other materials like paper boards, lining cloth, rubber foam interlining, natural dyes, and various accessories.
Process: Skins are treated, marked, and cut into desired patterns. For block-printed products, graphic designs are imprinted using zinc blocks and colored with spirit-based natural dyes. Batik-dyed products are treated with a solution of Gum Arabic and dyed using mouth spray. The components are then assembled and joined using stitching machines or suitable adhesives.
