Italian tanners will present their latest collections at a special presentation in Paris on December 7, reports Leatherbiz.

Italy’s embassy in the French capital (pictured) will host an event in a series called A New Point of Materials, which debuted at Lineapelle in Milan in September and moved to New York in October.

The event, which has the support of export promotions agency ICE-ITE, is a showcase created by Fashion 4 Development, a platform that seeks to use fashion to drive social change, and by sustainable fashion hub CLASS.

CLASS said the leathers on show at the Paris event would be “evolutionary and with high-profile sustainability content”, combining technology, craftsmanship, tradition and an avant-garde spirit.
