Bogotá again plays host to artisan leather fair
A new edition of an open-air artisan fair to celebrate local leather craftsmanship took place in Bogotá from August 8-10.
For a number of years now, Bogotá’s chamber of commerce has invited manufacturers of leather, leathergoods and footwear to take part in the fair, Talento al Parque (Talent in the Park).
On this occasion, around 100 business owners took part, mostly from the Restrepo, San Benito and Villapinzón districts of the Colombian capital.
The chamber of commerce said the event would serve as a shop-window for artisan manufacturers, opening up new markets and emphasising the value of skills that have been an important part of the culture of Restrepo and surrounding districts.
