In mid-May, the Italian Consortium Vera Pelle Conciata al Vegetale brought its Natural Sensations presentation to the Centre Beaubourg, one of the city’s most important centres for modern international visual art.

Founded in 1994, the consortium has 31 Tuscan tanneries as members and has been promoting its quality trademark for the past decade.

Trends for spring and summer 2005 were presented, based on Nature and split into three main themes — genuine, festive and enigmatic.
