“Rough-hewn” Iceland inspires Atlantic Leather for Lineapelle

28/03/2013
Icelandic tanner Atlantic Leather, a specialist in fish leather, has said it is confident its spring-summer 2014 collection of leather finishes will attract the attention of fashion buyers at the forthcoming Lineapelle exhibition, in Bologna from April 3-5.

In a statement before the event, Atlantic Leather said it admired Italian design and fashion brands’ response to it, going as far as to say “beauty was invented in Italy”, but said it wondered if Italian beauty is sometimes “too perfect”.

It went on to say that the “rough-hewn” beauty Iceland can offer, which is Atlantic Leather’s inspiration for its summer 2013-2014 collection, can offer a good contrast to this.
