Leather trend:
The market goes upmarket
The leather market is booming: the trade balance of the French industry went into the black for the first time in 2018. While France is tending to move towards more affordable products, demand for high-end items is increasing on the international market (Italy, Hong Kong, the United States, China, etc.)* A trend confirmed by the Rémy Carriat tannery, which is making more and more custom products, in a remarkable range of colours, textures and finishes.
