The World Leather Day set for next Saturday, 26 April, is just over a week away. Launched for the first time in 2022, the initiative is promoted by the international non-profit organisation Leather Naturally to celebrate leather by promoting a deeper understanding of it.
This year the communication campaign associated with the event is entitled “Beyond the Surface” and focuses on three key characteristics of leather: transparency, sustainability and longevity. Everyone is invited to do their part by spreading the message through their social media using images and texts that can be downloaded HERE.
