Leather companies to show off savoir-faire at Paris event

02/11/2015
Eleven companies from all over France will take part in a two-day business encounter in Paris at the start of December aimed at showing designers and buyers some of the savoir-faire that goes into making leather and finished leather products.

The event, called Dans la Peau du Cuir (In Leather’s Skin), will take place on December 1 and 2 at the Maison du Limousin in the rue de Caumartin in Paris, near the church of La Madeleine. The organisers have said it will be a showcase for the “dynamism and capacity for innovation” of the leather supply chain in France.

Companies taking part will include Millau-based producer of gloving leathers Tanneries Pechdo, Maison Fabre, which is one of France’s most famous manufacturers of gloves, Paskap, a children’s footwear brand from the south-west and Daguet, a specialist producer of belts from near Limoges.
