In association with the two Italian designers Carmen Rimoldi and Sergio Belloni, TFL has released its new Colour Trends & Fashion Inspirations presentation catalogue for leather for the spring/summer 2008 season. One of the main assets of this catalogue for TFL's customers is that it is published 21 months in advance of the retail season.

The colour preferences are divided into three categories: Chic, Classic and Casual. Styling directions as well as general fashion considerations and article trends are included together with leather samples and recipes from beamhouse through to finishing.

Chic shades are characterised by ocean and transparent tones, earth and water to evoke a natural and refreshing sense of calm. Classic nuances cover equatorial and warm tones, based on exotic flowers and sunsets. Casual shades comprise dense, earthy tones with natural shades of plants and leaves mixed with wood hues.

The publication also presents a full range of fashion leathers for the spring/summer 2007 season, which are developed by TFL’s specialists in Shoe & Leather Goods in Italy.
