A suspension of the export of raw material: Argentine raw hides are not to leave the country. That’s the demand advanced by the representatives of FATICA (Federación Argentina de Trabajadores del Cuero y Afines) to the government. The same organization had already sounded an alarm regarding the difficulties in sourcing raw materials on the local […]
Footwear and leather goods collapse, but the balance for 2020 is saved thanks to financial services and online sales of shoes (for the most part), leather goods and sportwear. German giant ANWR, which puts manufacturers and retailers on the market, will likely have a “challenging” 2021, also due to the “prudent behavior of commercial credit […]
Two (twin) brothers created it. 3 brothers bought it. We are talking about the premium leather goods brand Want Les Essentiels, founded in 2007 by Byron and Dexter Peart, and that has now gone in the hands of Jean-Philippe, François-Xavier and Guillaume Robert, owners of the outerwear brand Quartz Co. The operation was all done...

It is time to bury the ax of the trade war with China once and for all. In the United States, leather tries to re-establish its own interests and spaces for action. LHCA, the local association of tanning and raw material traders, signs an appeal to the White House to take advantage of the new...
The indiscretion was leaked in March by financial circles. CVC Capial Partners, starting from a valuation of around 700 million euros, was preparing to collect expressions of interest for Pasubio. Now, as Il Sole 24 Ore writes, there are three offers for the tannery in Vicenza. CVC entered the capital of Pasubio in 2017, when […]
The consequences of the 3rd wave hit all while the wounds from the first and second waves were still open. The period January-March was “negative all-around for the manufacturing indexes of tanneries, with decrements often in the double-digits”, reads the note from Lineapelle’s Economic Service. Yet, some positive elements do emerge. The consequences of the […]
The calendar of events is taking shape. Fairs in attendance heat up the engines, while maintaining a hybrid dimension (physical + digital) experienced in 2020 due to Covid. An expected and necessary return for the market that from Pitti, pioneering on June 30th, will extend to all the events scheduled after the holidays, starting with […]
The Sesia it bag, which we have been able to define as Loro Piana‘s “gauntlet” to leather goods, has already proved to be a successful operation two months after its launch. For this reason, the brand of the LVMH group says it is convinced of the investment in accessories, and is preparing new releases. “Accessories, […]
To not use leather so that animals won’t be slaughtered. This is a statement dear to the veg believers. A claim that, surprisingly, still has pull among the operators of the fashion segment. But that’s not the truth. Without tanning’s upcycling activities, hides would be reduced to a waste product created by the livestock industry. […]
Fashion represents 21% of Italian exports to China. A market considered advantageous for big brands and difficult (if not impossible) for Italian SMEs, to which the “made in Italy product” is not enough. There are many obstacles. For example: the territorial vastness, the high degree of digitisation required, and the need to have a local […]
The Chinese luxury market is the battleground for brands. Who won, who lost, what it takes to excel when competitiveness is getting stronger. Finally, what is the role of very young consumers. Three analysts explain perspectives and, above all, pitfalls of the People’s Republic. Mario Ortelli, managing partner at Ortelli & Co., Amrita Banta, CEO […]

In other words: winter 2022/2023, whose trends highlight the need summarised by the claim “Imagination & Re-Wonder”. It is […]
A fair that tastes of recovery. La Moda Italiana @ Kiev closed on May 25, 2021. Even during this challenging period, exhibitors came out of the fair with positive results.

The US market. The panorama of retail and its fashion consumption. Perspective of accessories and leather. Regarding shoes, in a nutshell: good sneakers, bad boots and, with them, trendy footwear for both men and women. For leather goods: small and tech accessories are ok, gloves and belts are bad. Regarding leather: the renewed (and reassuring)...
It’s called ESG, acronym of Environmental, Social and corporate Governance, as we know. It’s the governance of the sustainability, social and organization’s management. This horizon is updating, as of today, to a new standard in the tanning segment. This has to do with the relationship between leather and ethical claims, for which the Veneto-group Dani, […]
There are some facts that are good to remember. The first one, for example, is this: tanning is green, because it has an upcycling function in a perfectly circular economic scheme. The second is strictly tied: due to the fact that tanning recovers a waste byproduct of the livestock chain, the potential conversion to synthetic […]

It will become the heart of bag production, will employ 250 people and host the Academy for training. Regarding the market trend, Furla explains that 2021 will be […]
There may also be Piquadro running for Sergio Rossi. And Marco Palmieri’s group would be one of the favourites along with the Swiss Bally. Therefore, it is a two-way race. The position of the American Marquee Brands is more secluded. Out of the dispute (without, probably, having ever participated), Style Capital. Its CEO, Roberta Benaglia, confirmed yesterday that she has an acquisition in […]
