Abstract

Abstract: With the improvement of consumers' awareness of environmental protection and the continuous improvement of consumer demand, the leather industry is developing in the direction of environmental sustainability and functional diversity. This article takes thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer yarn as the research object. From the perspective of sustainable design, the woven process is used to weave the thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer yarn and the traditional yarn, and the new fabric obtained after weaving is tested and analyzed. Analyzing and discussing the results of multiple experiments, and expounding the functions and characteristics of the new fabric, weaving a new type of leather fabric that is different from traditional leather-thermoplastic polyurethane bionic leather fabric. The fabric has better gloss, water resistance, abrasion resistance and leather texture, and also has a bionic texture that traditional leather does not have. The research results of this article verify the innovative ideas and design directions in the process, provide more possibilities for the design and development of future luggage products, and make the design of luggage products more diverse.
