Abstract: The brocade of the Li nationality is not only the cold clothing of the Li people, but also the special bearing and symbol of the visual language of the Li nationality, which conveys the development course, artistic thought and aesthetic concept of the Li nationality. This paper summarized the classification and artistic characteristics of Li nationality brocade patterns, explored the application potential of Li nationality brocade patterns in leather product design from two aspects of pattern and color, and analyzed its application mode through specific cases to explore the application feasibility of Li nationality brocade in leather products. It is pointed out that the specific way to combine the traditional culture of ethnic minorities with modern leather products not only provides inspiration for the innovative design of leather products, but also gives ideas for the dissemination and innovation of ethnic minority culture, so as to better realize the inheritance, development and integration of ethnic culture.
