Double success for Spanish tannery at PV Awards

26/09/2018
The 10th PV Awards were handed out at the recent Première Vision exhibition, which took place from September 19-21 in Paris.

The awards were created in 2008 as a way to highlight the most creative and innovative products from companies exhibiting at the exhibition. They were originally only handed out to textile manufacturers, but awards for producers of leather were introduced in 2015. 

The winners were selected by a jury made up of figures from the international fashion industry. This year, it was led by Belgian designer Olivier Theyskens.

Spanish group FC Creacio I Innovacio received the top award, the PV Leather Grand Jury Prize, for “the most exceptional, symbolic and pertinent leather of the season”. It was also the winner of the PV Leather Fashion Smart Creation Prize, for “the most creative responsible leather”.

Turkish company Naturca - Aysen Butik won the PV Leather Handle Prize, for “the leather combining the most amazing tactile and behavioural qualities, the leather that touches the emotions.”

The winner of the PV Leather Imagination Prize, awarded for “the most daring, original and amazing leather in terms of decoration, technique, finishing, innovation or technology”, was another Turkish company, tanner Ckd Cetinkaya.
