The present invention relates to a novel reconstituted leather sheet prepared by process intervention by way of application of binder on to the packed leather fiber and treating it with acid, whereby a continuous sheet is produced. The sheet exhibits very good mechanical properties. It opens a new channel for the utilization of the solid leather wastes generated by tanneries or used leather products to make value added consumer items of low price range. The sheet material obtained by this process can be used for making different consumer goods including children footwear, slippers uppers, light leather materials like purses, valets, and key chain holding material etc. Thus, a certain value addition is ensured for benefits to consumer product industries.
