Worldwide
Published:  09 November, 2009

TFL have released their ‘TFL Colour Trends’ catalogue for the season spring/summer 2011. In the catalogue, TFL present colour trends for the leather garment, footwear, leathergoods and additionally, for the upholstery industry.

The colour trends are divided into ‘wearing’ and ‘living’ themes with a dedicated section on each within the book. ‘Wearing’ comprises inspirations and colour trends for garment, footwear and accessories whereas in the ‘Living’ theme all colours presented are for the season’s interior design concepts.
In the ‘Living’ section the topic is ‘the freshness of the sea’. New marine shades have been developed on nubuck surfaces that are enhanced with the Scotchgard leather protector. Bright shades of dyed wet-white leather in strong yellow, lucent orange and light blue are shown.
In the theme ‘wearing’ a reference is made to highly opaque veg leathers polished by wood. Japanese ‘Raku’ pottery shows new metal-pearl reflections in bronze-turquoise, copper-green, gold-clay and platinum-lilac.
Furthermore, in this edition some information about the ‘TFL Cool System’ is included. With ‘Cool’ dyes, it is also possible to use more deeply coloured leather articles in the summer time.
