La Hermida helps designers understand leather

07/08/2015
Tanning company La Hermida is working jointly with Argentina’s National Institute of Industrial Technology (INTI) to give ten local small-scale designers in Chaco in the north-east of the country in-depth insight into the way leather is made and what its special qualities are.

A programme of tutorials began at the tannery in July and will continue at regular intervals until October. Afterwards, the ten designers will take on the task of incorporating local leather into a summer clothing collection.
