World Leather, established in 1987, is the leading global magazine for the leather industry. Published six times a year, it is indispensable reading for tanners, traders, brands and the wider industry. WL subscribers can browse the editions from the past 10 years.
The October-November issue of World Leather is here, offering thought-provoking articles on what is happening in the global leather sector now and what may happen in future. We have a full account of Simac-Tanning Tech in Milan and reports from the Sustainable Leather Forum in Paris. In one, leather-industry figures engage in an exchange that reveals their visions for the future. In another, you can read about the designer who can talk to leather and hear what leather says to him in return. We also bring details of the new Global Leather Alliance, which has launched to promote the industry and protect it from unfair criticism. We hear from British Pasture Leather’s Alice Robinson about her involvement in a scholarship programme for people connected, in varying ways, to agriculture. And please don’t miss our Leather Leaders interview, in which COTANCE secretary general, Edoardo De Paola, gives an insider’s view of how leather can win the support of regulators in Brussels.
