| Spanish abstract | El artículo examina una rama de la talabartería en la vida económica y social de Chile y Cuyo, desde mediados del siglo XVII hasta mediados del XIX, particularmente los contenedores dedicados a la producción, transporte y comercio. A partir de documentos originales de archivo y de cronistas y viajeros, se detecta una notable relevancia de manufacturas en cuero, cuantitativa y cualitativamente. Se detecta que el constante abastecimiento de envases y recipientes de cuero fue un constante animador de la vida económica regional y contribuyó a la consolidación de las rutas comerciales entre el Atlántico y el Pacífico durante el periodo artesanal, previo al ciclo de expansión industrial |
