Gary Billingham is demonstrating how the 28 pieces which make up an Ettinger wallet are cut from leather using a hydraulic press by the small team at one of Walsall’s last remaining leather goods factories.(加里·比林厄姆正在演示,在沃尔索尔仅存的最后几家皮具工厂之一,一个小团队如何用液压机从皮革上裁出组成一个埃廷格钱包的28个部件。) The edges of the pieces are thinned down(削薄) so they are ready to be turned, glued and stitched together by hand.

Billingham has been at the factory near Birmingham since the 1980s, when “there were three pages in the Yellow Pages” business directory listing leather factories in the West Midlands town.(比林厄姆从20世纪80年代起就在这家位于伯明翰附近的工厂工作,当时“黄页”商业名录中有三页列出了这个西米德兰兹小镇的皮革工厂。) “They were everywhere. It has gone from that to about five factories. It is more like a cottage industry(家庭手工业).”
