Trojan family has been in leather for over 100 years now. We started as cobblers, today we make a range of leatherwear.

Let’s go back to history. Our elders used long, hard needles to sew leather shoes and jackets, using the hides collected locally. Later they also started an attempt to make a water container. After years of trial and error, they made it possible for the villagers to fetch water from the nearby river. They made this water container made out of an entire sheep’s skin.

A big breakthrough took place during world war two. A British army commander stationed near our village brought a leather football to repair. The quality work by the villagers surprised him. Therefore, the officer suggested that our elders start sewing footballs for the British army. As they say, the rest is history.

Today, our region is the world’s top football maker. But that’s just one of the leather products we make. Our other products include a wide range of high-quality leather items.
