Blue is the colour for Atlantic Leather

31/01/2013
Specialist Icelandic fish leather producer Atlantic Leather will make a debut appearance at the Munich Fabric Start event, which this year takes place in the Bavarian city from February 5-7. Atlantic Leather said its aim was to “win over the Germans to our passion for fish leather”.

Later in February, 12-14, the tanning company will travel to the French capital for Le Cuir À Paris, where it is already a seasoned exhibitor. For the Paris event, Atlantic Leather has borrowed a series of finished products in fish leather from its clients to show other buyers and brands the look and feel they too could achieve with the material.

Atlantic Leather has said it believes buyers in Paris will want to see vivid colours but relatively simple ranges, for which it has taken its inspiration from its own surroundings. The tannery’s location on the north coast of Iceland offers it “an endless palette of blues”, the company has said.
