Pittards sponsors textile design student

17/06/2013
UK-based leather group Pittards has supported a final year design student for her degree in interior textiles and surface design at Somerset College of Arts and Technology in Taunton, UK.

Helen Jackson used natural materials in her final collection, including Pittards leather.

The group, which owns a tannery and glove factory in Ethiopia, has sponsored a number of degree students. It also supported last week’s Beast to Beauty conference in Northampton, where one of the agendas was to inspire the next generation of fashion and footwear designers to work with and embrace leather.
