Leather featured prominently at a special exhibition in Paris on July 8-9. By Leatherbiz.

LVMH Métiers d’Art, a specialist part of the luxury group that it founded in 2015 to help secure access to high-end leather and other raw materials, opened the doors of its showroom for the event, which it called Material Days.

Visitors had access to the materials LVMH craftspeople work with. On the ground floor, high-end leathers were on display on mannequins and columns, setting the scene for the rest of the exhibition.

Also on display were fabrics and metals.
