TFL has released its new TFL Colour Trends Catalogue for the season Autumn/Winter 2026-27. In the catalogue, TFL presents the colour trends for leather garments, footwear, accessories and additionally for the upholstery industry. By ILM.

The colour trends are divided into “Wearing” and “Living”, devoting a section to each within the publication. Wearing comprises inspirations and colour trends for garments, footwear and accessories. The Living section features all colours that will decorate the season’s interior designs.

In “Wearing”, after years of standardisation of leather, there is a return to discover its unique qualities. This is why TFL focused on both the aesthetic and utilitarian functions of leather, identifying four primary functions: protective, informative, sensory and technological. Trends include natural and printed grains, burnished effects and extra-glossy surfaces, as well as shiny and silky suedes.

In “Living”, it is important to support the tanners’ effort at bringing out the beauty and authenticity of the leather. TFL demonstrate the importance of opening-up the structure of the skin starting from the beamhouse, making light leathers with a round handle, accentuating the three-dimensionality and vibrancy of the colours on soft, bright nappa.
