TFL release colour trends for 2013-14

They have divided the colour trends 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 design.

In ‘Living’ the current trend is all about comfort and a new concept of softness. For example vegetable tanned calf leather with hand-carved semi-gloss wood finish. Fragmented effects are created on full grain nappa through printed needlepoint that protects surfaces from constant rubbing and at the same time keeps the nature of the products. The colours range from various pastel green to yellow, brown and red tones.

In ‘Wearing’ tone-on-tone brush-off smoothness, opaque metals or natural waxes are what are most fashionable for the next season using vegetable tanned nubuck calf leather with an impressive thickness, aniline finishing and protection from stains and water. The colours range from various brown and red tones.
In addition, they 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.
