According to a study by the Economic Observatory of Alliance France Cuir, the French rank leather second among their favorite materials. However, while they appreciate its durability, they often overlook the fact that it is a by-product of the agri-food industry.

 

Loved but still subject to some misunderstanding among the French…

 

Such is the fate of leather in France according to the latest study conducted by the Economic Observatory of the French leather industry, represented by Alliance France Cuir (formerly the National Leather Council).
