complement

English to German Tech/Engineering Textiles / Clothing / Fashion
In the industrial process of production there are two large chains: the textile-clothing chain and the leather, ***complements***, and footwear chain. These are the two avenues that connect designers to suppliers, who will work harder and perform better the closer the relationship is between the two.

The basic outline of textile-clothing production is: fibers, spinning, knitting, finishing, and clothing.

The basic outline of the leather-***complements***-footwear chain is: tanning, finishing, and manufacturing.

agree Irene Schlotter, Dipl.-Übers. : Aber im Plural: Accessoires. Das schließt Gürtel, Handschuhe, Taschen, Brieftaschen, Portemonnaies etc. ein, also alle Dinge, die 'modisches Beiwerk' sind und nicht zur eigentlichen Bekleidung zur Bedeckung des Körpers zählen.

Lederwaren

As in "Leather, leather products and footwear" or "Leder, Lederwaren und Schuhen".
This is a rather strange use of "complements" in English, but I think it refers here to "leather-related products". This is a very common way of referring to this particular industrial sector. Try googling the above terms in quotation marks and see what you think.
