Chanel buys first tannery to secure supplies
06/12/2013
Bruno Pavlovsky, chairman of Chanel’s fashion business, said the brand had been working with the tannery for 30 years and would continue to supply rivals.
He estimated the price of lambskin has risen by about 25-30% in the past three to five years, and said that the company would still rely on about 15 other tanneries for supply.
