TFL colour trends for Spring-Summer 2014

In order to further improve the colour information and to provide their customers additional specific fashion knowledge, TFL designed their Colour Trends Catalogue in a new way. In every colour-topic the reader will now find target markets as well as the description of the particular leather articles used. Moreover, the TFL Colour Trends Catalogue will include a colour-fan, which can be taken out of the document e.g. for colour matching.

The colour trends are still divided into “Wearing” and “Living”, devoting a section to each within the publication. Wearing comprises inspirations and colour trends for garments, footwear and accessories. The Living section features all colours that will decorate the season’s interior designs.

In “Living” the current trend is characterised by hand-buffed, padded, washed-out nubuck leathers. In addition, soft vegetable leathers with a waxy touch are combined with fluorescent suede splits. Leather articles with a low specific weight, finished with protective coatings against soiling and bad weather, which supports the maintenance of the natural silky touch of the leather, are preferred. The colours range from various pastel brown to orange.

In “Wearing” a new trend in the casual look is for matt, crease-resistant unlined soft leather jackets, with wet-white leather inserts. For décolleté and clutch bags, bright brush-off effects with metallic shades represent the fashion. The colours range from various pastel green and red to orange and ocean blue.
In addition, TFL are featuring the TFL Sella Derm M2 range of liquid salt-free metal complex dyes. These dyes are miscible in water and organic solvents. They are recommended for shade intensifying, correcting and levelling of dyed leather.
