Today we’re celebrating Global Recycling Day! A perfect excuse to champion the makers in our industry utilising leather for upcycling, re-purposing, repair and recycling.
Last year we launched our first ever global Leather Repair Directory. A free resource available for anyone across the world who wants to honour and not trash their leather treasures – whether that’s a vintage jacket, premium car interior or an iconic chair.

And in honour of stylish recycling in action, Helen Kirkum caught our attention at London Fashion Week. Her Studio rescues odd sneakers from landfill. Their unique ‘Collaged Sneaker Leather’ from upcycled leather and dead stock material, transforms into brilliant one of a kind new authentic sneaker styles.
“We aim to reconnect people with the craftsmanship and tactility of products that have been lost through mass production”.

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.
