New issue of World Leather available online now
The April-May issue of World Leather for this, the magazine’s thirty-fifth year of covering the global leather industry, is now available for subscribers to read online.
The war in Ukraine features in a number of our articles this time, with the human suffering that families and communities are enduring always at the forefront of everyone’s thoughts.
The effects of the war are among the subjects that IULTCS president, Jean-Pierre Gualino, reflects on in our Leather Leaders interview in this issue. They are also at the heart of an appeal from footwear industry leaders in the Italian region of Le Marche, who fear age-old artisanship may be under threat because the countries involved in the war are among their most important markets.
Elsewhere, we have a round-up of APLF 2022, heartening news about recognition in the European Union of the importance of the longevity and repairability of consumer goods, and stories from two automotive companies, Skoda and Polestar, that prove leather’s appeal for use in car interiors is alive and kicking.
