Au-delà du Cuir sets up  its own Paris showroom
Au-delà du Cuir, an association set up in recent years by France’s Conseil National Du Cuir (National Leather Council) and national footwear federation (FFC) to promote the use of leather by young designers, has opened its own showroom in Paris.

Around 20 young designers have their work on display in the Au-delà du Cuir showroom, which is situated close to the city’s Centre Pompidou, and the facility will also serve as a place for designers to meet leather experts from Au-delà du Cuir and discuss their needs.

Au-delà du Cuir, which means ‘Beyond Leather’, sees itself as being a link between traditional French leather artisanship, creative dynamism and talent and the challenges of the international market.

Brands to have placed product in the showroom include La Charentaise Tcha, Maison Thomas, Maltier le Malletier, 1789 Cala, Tanya Heath Paris, Amélie Pichard and Piola.
