Tanners from all over France will travel to Paris at the start of the new academic year to talk to students at l’Institut Français de la Mode, writes Leatherbiz.

A group of tanners will take part in presentations and discussions with postgraduate students with the aim of encouraging them to incorporate leather into their master’s projects.

This is the first time this joint-initiative between l’Institut Français de la Mode and leather manufacturers’ association Fédération Française de la Tannerie Mégisserie.

A dozen leather manufacturers will take part.
