This is a special issue for the team as we mark the magazine’s thirty-fifth anniversary by looking over some great achievements since 1987, confident that there are more to come in the future.
In Leather Leaders in this issue of the magazine, we talk to the president of the Leather and Hide Council of America, Stephen Sothmann.
Eye-catching research projects that feature in Technology this time focus on biodegradability, chrome VI detection and carbon footprint calculations.
Our updated Nothing To Hide essay, number 11 in the series, shows that we first aired our successful Leather and the Circular Economy idea as long ago as 2015. And in the section dedicated to that same subject, we have features that focus on luxury brands’ increasingly creative use of leather offcuts, on a special project at Loewe that combines basket-weaving and leather artistry, and all the details of Phi 1.618, the Paris-based start-up with an intriguing penchant for the Divine Proportion.
Finally, Beast to Beauty takes a closer look at cricket, specifically at the particular leather requirements that manufacturers of cricket balls have to meet.
We hope you enjoy every article.
