Innovation for the leather industry featured at luxury group LVMH’s booth at the VivaTech technology event in Paris in mid-June. 

LVMH presented a series of innovations for different parts of its supply chain in a space it called Dream Gallery. Innovations on display there included one from technology provider Comelz. 

Based in Vigevano in Italy, Comelz has worked with leathergoods brand Louis Vuitton on a solution to improve leather cutting. 

Using artificial intelligence, its technology creates “a digital twin” of hides before cutting. It then highlights “the unique characteristics” of each hide and draws attention to any “complex areas” on the surface before cutting begins.
