COTANCE and Leather Naturally intensify collaboration

Release date: 11.03.2019

In the last few years, several new initiatives have gained ground in the leather industry, sometimes overlapping but mostly strengthening each other. COTANCE and Leather Naturally will intensify their collaboration for the benefit of the Leather industry and to promote the uniqueness of Leather as a sustainable material. 


‘COTANCE’ acknowledges the need for a Global campaign that promotes Leather as a material, independently of the producing country or operator, and recommends the sector’s operators to support the initiative developed by Leather Naturally’ adds Gustavo Gonzalez-Quijano, Secretary General of COTANCE.  

 ‘Leather Naturally acknowledges the importance and the value of the existing network of the sectors’ Trade Associations and Societies at national, regional and international level in embodying the good governance structure of the Leather industry and recommends the Leather industry’s operators to join them and support them’ commented Egbert Dikkers who is the Chair of Leather Naturally.

Leather Naturally is currently crowdfunding for a global Leather promotion campaign targeted on the new generations. The objective of this campaign is to create a state-of-the-art multimedia platform to promote Leather as fashion item to targeted young generations in order to stimulate the Leather consumption. The first part of the project will last one year but aiming to continue for a total period of 5 years.  About Leather Naturally
