Programme
Following the new economic models and the different consumers’ attitude toward the fashion system, the leather industry has recently been experiencing a technological and digital transformation, by developing and implementing new organization patterns.
This transition has gone hand to hand with the industry’s commitment to safeguard and keep intact the story, cultural relevance, significance, sustainability and properties of “leather”.
After the meetings hold in South America (Rio de Janeiro, 2011) Europe (Milan, 2015) and Asia (Shanghai, 2017), the 4th World Leather Congress strengthens its global vocation by reaching the North America. The appointment with the WCL 2019 is scheduled in New York on 16 July 2019 under the title “Leather in Everyday Life”.
