More Italians at next Le Cuir A Paris
7 May 2008More than 300 exibitors are expected at the next edition of Le Cuir A Paris to be held from September 23-26, 2008, in hall 4 of the Parc des Expositions de Paris Nord Villepinte. Among the new exhibitors, the Italian participation will be reinforced with 13 newcomers as well as the return, after a period of absence, of Conceria Incas and Italhide. There will also be first-time participation by JSC Vilniaus Kailai (Lithuania), Sri Sinn Fah Tannery (Thailand) and Tanneries Megisseries du Maghreb (Tunisia).
Eight national pavilions are being organised for next September: the French Federation of Tanning, Assintecal and CICB (Brazil), Acexpiel (Spain), VDL (Germany), Agenzia di Promozione Economica della Toscana and Consorzio Italian Leather System (Italy) as well as the APIC (Portuguese Tanning Industry Association). Following the success of their first participation in February, Exotics Valencia (Spain), Aromata (Italy), Nova Kaeru and Couroquimica (Brazil) will be returning in September. As with each autumn/winter edition, the presence of fur will be very important with the participation, for instance, of Saga Furs (Denmark), Yves Salomon (France), Panfur (Finland), CEO Orylag (France), Hispano Piel (Spain), Officina delle Pelli (Italy) and Serpelsa Furs (Spain). For the forthcoming September edition, Le Cuir A Paris are launching a brand new space called ‘home inspiration'. This is a conceptual space that will offer a creative view of leather by building an inspirational bridge between the universes of fashion, home and interior decor. Last but not least, three international designers will be present in the Designers' Village of Le Cuir A Paris: Jacqueline Headlam (England) for leathergoods, Mado Luzayadio (France/England) for shoes and Yu Feng Zhao (China) for women's clothing and fashion accessories
