New Paris showroom for exotic leather partners

16/09/2015
Georgia-based specialist alligator skin tannery American Tanning and Leather Company (Amtan) and Italian exotic leather supplier Whiteline have opened a new showroom in central Paris.

The two companies, who formed a strategic partnership at the start of 2012 to create “a new global exotic leather powerhouse”, have set the new showroom up in the Rue du Général Lanrezac, near the Arc de Triomphe.

On opening the new showroom on September 15, Amtan confirmed to World Leather that the partner companies have set it up to have a permanent presence in Paris, allowing them to showcase their alligator and crocodile leathers to French designers.

In addition, the showroom will hold stocks of Whiteline and Amtan leathers in around 20 colours.
