Trenchant Browne, a leading leather printing company, using photographic digital imaging, have been investing in fashion products and fashion designers using leather in their collections.
Last year the designer, Arkadius launched his spring/summer 2001 collection at London Fashion Week using printed leather on jackets, skirts, belts and boots by Jimmy Choo. Arkadius’ collection was also seen on the catwalk in Warsaw where he received a warm welcome with his Polish ethnic prints.
A major proportion of the printed leather produced goes to make accessories, including handbags by Bill Amberg who exhibited with a ‘gold ingot’ and ‘pearl print’ design which was featured in last December’s issue of Vogue.
Pazuki, who for the first time produced handbags to match their highly regarded silk scarves, also attracted much attention and acclaim at London Fashion Week.
Jeffery West is now offering ‘made to order’ printed leather shoes with matching cases. ‘Danielle Bud’ and Milla & Mode are among other designers now using Trenchant-Browne printed leather.
Designer furniture plus wall and floor coverings were also shown in and around the 100% Design Exhibition using Bauhuas prints on leather Brno and Knoll chairs and leather printed wall tiles by Intracasa.
