Première Vision offers a wide range of leathers for fashion professionals. Among the available leathers, you'll find unique materials, at the cutting edge of each season's trends: split leather, full-grain leather, fur, exotic leather, suede leather or even wool skins, as well as textiles for leather goods and footwear. The Première Vision Marketplace offers you all the product developments of over 120 suppliers and leather manufacturers from all over the world.
To facilitate your sourcing of leathers and skins, Première Vision has developed Performance Codes divided into 4 main categories:
"Eco-Responsible" Performance Codes shed light on the criteria for more environmentally-friendly sourcing. They take into account the entire production chain, product finishing and the end-of-life cycle. - Recycled leather, Reduced chemical impact finishing, Waterless, Traceability, Biodegradable or compostable, Metal-free, Vegetable tanning -
"Qualities" refer to the different ease with which leather can be cared for: Easy-care, washable.
"Protections" apply to innovations offering better skin protection: Waterproof, Water-repellent, Reflective, etc.
Finally, "Constructions" focus on the mechanical specificities of the material.
Immerse yourself in the world of leather with this technical glossary dedicated to leather. An invaluable tool to help you understand the technical terms and names specific to leathers and skins.
From aniline to wet white, discover all the leather-related terms you need to know: box-calf, crust, vegetable leather, grain/full-grain leather, coated finish, smoothed finish, pigmented finish, fulling, mechanical grained, nappa, nubuck, loaner, leather/crust split, chrome tanning, metal-free tanning, synthetic tanning, vegetable tanning, velvet or wet blue.
While circularity is an integral part of leather development, tanners are pushing the envelope even further, from the supply of tannins right through to the product's end-of-life. Plant by-products are finding new uses as tanning agents and ingredients in bio-sourced finishes. Revalorization increases with the reuse of dormant stocks made available for responsible capsule collections.
