An event called Les Rencontres du Cuir (Leather Encounters) will take place in Paris for the thirteenth time in Paris on November 15.

This year’s edition will be hosted by high-end footwear designer Philippe Atienza at his workshop in the twelfth arrondissement.

Participants will be able to visit Mr Atienza’s workshop and then hear a roundtable discussion. Themes the discussion will cover will include training for new-generation artisans and “the feminisation of the artisan sector in France”.

 The president of France’s Conseil National du Cuir, Frank Boehly, will be one of the participants in the discussion.
