Congress to focus on leather in everyday life
The Leather Industries of America (LIA), the US Hide, Skin and Leather Association (USHSLA) and the International Council of Tanners (ICT) have released more information about the fourth World Leather Congress, which will take place in New York on July 16, 2019.

LIA and USHSLA jointly will host the congress with support from Lineapelle and Italian tanning industry body (UNIC); the congress will take place the day before the start of the 38th Lineapelle New York exhibition.

‘Leather in Everyday Life’ will be the theme of the World Leather Congress. Speakers will represent the world of fashion and other users of finished leather, who will describe why leather is of value in their industries. The idea is to list the many positive ways in which leather touches the lives of people every day: in their homes, cars, clothing, sports and accessories. Other speakers will address the story and value of leather as an environmentally sustainable material.

The Congress will conclude with a cocktail party and fashion show, featuring collections from designers around the world, including the US, Italy, Brazil and China.
