Specialty chemicals company LANXESS, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of leather chemicals, is giving its customers a real competitive advantage by forecasting future colours and trends. In a specially made collection LANXESS is revealing leather patterns with the novelties for Autumn/Winter 2019/20. The leather patterns reflect the future fashions in appearance, surface touch and overall look. The sample collection also contains recipes and practical processing suggestions so that the tanners are well-equipped to reproduce the new trends.

The experts from LANXESS unveiled the four Autumn/Winter 2019/20 fashion themes to look out for now:

Circoli urbani

The colours of this autumn are urban ones: shades like cement, or tones like the seductive hue of a cappuccino on a cold morning. This season also brings us tones of nature. The colours of this whole season work by themselves, and in combination with each other.

Cioccolato e mogano

Chocolate is a typical color of autumn. Warm and seductive chocolate tones combine perfectly with an orange, reminiscent of seasonal Halloween pumpkins. They also combine beautifully with colder colours typical of the winter season, like the white of a rainy day. Colours foreign to this season, such as the green of a grasshopper, interweave harmoniously.

Cemento e olive

The sober touch remains in the middle of this winter. Colours like wet pavement, candy and perhaps a seductive rhododendron accentuate it even more. A sophisticated touch is added by the provincial blue which, together with an olive green, provide a distinguished accent for combinations with basic and soft tones.

Colori senza tempo

A positive and bright palette of colours will accompany us this deep winter season. They are everyday colours that are seen in the shop windows, dominate electronic grays, mauves, cognac and raw and bluish colors. All colours that are characteristic of the winter seasons, will be so again.
