Lineapelle under way in Milan
Leather fair Lineapelle is under way in Milan (February 11 to 13), with a special Winter Olympics installation, ‘Lineapelle Après Ski’, reminding visitors that some sports are being held in the same exhibition area.
Now in its third edition, Lineapelle Interiors will “build a bridge” between materials and designers as part of a dedicated area in Hall 5. Organisers said the aim is to “increase dialogue between high craftsmanship and industry”.
On February 11, the Sustainable Leather Foundation held a stakeholder’s meeting, which managing director Deborah Taylor described as highly productive. “We covered key updates on benchmarking, auditing and accreditation, social compliance, industry engagement and our ongoing work on traceability solutions through Leathertrace, particularly in informal farming geographies in Bangladesh,” she said. “We were encouraged by the level of engagement, discussion and shared commitment across the room.”
