The 26 members of the Italian Vegetable-Tanned Leather Consortium will hold an event at The Earth Galleries of the Natural History Museum in London on June 26, where they will showcase the leather trends for autumn/winter 2008/09 and exhibit a range of clothes produced from vegetable-tanned leather.

Two designers, Aki Choklat and Nadia Minkoff, will also present their collections, highlighting the uniqueness of the material that is said to combine eco-friendliness with quality and style.
