The invention provides an enzymatic process for the rehydration of crust leathers using eco-benign enzymatic products while eliminating the formation of harmful substances in leather. The process ensures a reduction of rehydration duration to the extent of 25 to 70 %, thereby resulting in an increase in productivity. It is envisaged to have wide applications in the leather processing industry as an eco-friendly and effective option for further wet processing of crust leather in an aqueous medium, especially for the purpose of dyeing dried crust.
