Francis Tsang, co-founder of the ChromeFree Leather Alliance, writes that Tibetan communities have always been herding yaks and sheep, letting them graze freely. Yaks and sheep provide the Tibetans with many valuable nutrients for the community’s consumption (meat and dairy), as well as providing commercial possibilities. To extend the latter, Nera Leather Tanning’s Zeology tanning is helping the tannery in Lhasa get more out of yak hides and Tibetan sheepskin, which would otherwise largely be discarded.
Using the responsible tanning concept, they can get even more use out of the yak and sheep after slaughter. In addition to using the wool, down, and collagen, all of the hides and skins can now be commercialized as well.
We bring leather, material and fashion businesses together: an opportunity to meet and greet face to face. We bring them from all parts of the world so that they can find fresh partners, discover new customers or suppliers and keep ahead of industry developments.
We organise a number of trade exhibitions which focus on fashion and lifestyle: sectors that are constantly in flux, so visitors and exhibitors alike need to be constantly aware both of the changes around them and those forecast for coming seasons.
