16/07/2018
In a talk called ‘The Tuscan Way: Veg-tan, what does it mean and what story does it tell?’, Florence-based design professional and specialist in international and creative studies Diane Becker and the Consorzio’s Barbara Mannucci will talk about the culture of the Tuscan leather cluster and the special qualities of the vegetable-tanned leathers it is famous for.
Lineapelle New York takes place at the Metropolitan Pavilion in Chelsea on July 17-18 and Italian tanners will use the event to showcase leather collections they have prepared for the autumn-winter 2019-2020 fashion season for New York-based designers.
The Consorzio’s talk on veg-tan leather will take place on the second day, July 18.
