CITY composition leather manufacturer E-Leather Ltd is set to launch two new materials for the safety and back-to-school sectors at a major exhibition in Italy at the end of the month.
The materials, which will be shown at LineaPelle, in Bologna, on October 28 to October 30, have been under extensive testing over the past six months.
They will be showcased on the Pidigi stand, numbers B18 to B22 and C17 to C21, in pavilion 26,
at the show.
Pidigi is the appointed representative and distributor of E-Leather in Italy, Tunisia and Morocco.
The new safety material has passed stringent EU standards for tear strength, breathability and comfort, while the back-to-school material needed to be scuff resistant and breathable, to cope with childhood wear and tear.
E-Leather managing director Doug Hacking said: “We are already in discussions with a number of footwear companies and high street retailers, and our new materials offerings have been very well received.
“I am confident we will secure significant sales in these important sectors.”
E-Leather is a new product engineered from natural leather waste.
It is supplied in rolls, which results in only a five per cent cutting wastage, compared to up to 40 per cent wastage for natural hides.
