New issue of World Leather available now

The December-January issue of World Leather is out now and is available for subscribers to read at this link.

In Leather Leaders, we speak to Claudia Sequi, the first woman to become president of Italian leathergoods manufacturers’ association Assopellettieri. She insists that consumers deserve to hear the truth from brands about their products.

Our Technology section includes a definitive analysis from Trumpler of the biodegradability of leather. We also report from Scottish Leather Group’s new ‘Super Tannery’ set-up.

There are six new features in our Leather and the Circular Economy series, taking to almost 150 the total number of articles we have published in this section to argue that leather deserves to be a pivotal part of the discussion about the circular economy.

This time, the circular-economy ideas we cover include a call for more participation from leather-sector figures at future COP events to present the industry’s case to policy-makers. We also offer some insight into how the global luxury industry is likely to fare in 2024. 

This takes us to our Beast to Beauty section, in which we explain why craftsmanship and quality are so crucial to one of the world’s most successful luxury brands, Hermès. We hope you enjoy reading every article.
