Stahl unveils new leather and technology forecast

26/08/2008

Stahl’s new booklet presenting the Leather & Technology Forecast for autumn-winter 2009-10 offers greater simplicity than before.

Most of the formulations used for creating the finishes shown on the leathers have used fewer products and more straightforward procedures than in the past, keeping in mind potentially smaller product inventories for storage in the tanneries. From the tanner’s point of view, this means the effects shown have a strong commercial appeal.

Another advantage is that the formulations are much easier to translate into local versions suited to the different leather producing regions of the world. Local Stahl technicians will be able to help customers by providing details that are relevant to their area.

The forecast has adopted a more pictorial approach than in earlier issues. It displays pictures relating directly to the leather samples prepared from the latest collection. They illustrate the various effects that are predicted for each of the six groups: Assuring Heritage, Unexpected Poetry, Ambitious Sobriety, Being the Fabulous, Artisan Richness and Warrior Temple.
