360° Leather - from farm to tech

Première Vision Paris will shed light on the industry's transformation and the future and key features will include:
- PV leather hub: Comprising the "Leather Forum," showcasing exhibitors' innovations, the "Industry Innovation" hub presenting solutions from companies specialising in agriculture, environment, and tech, and the Platinum executive lounge for members of the Platinum programme.

A push for eco-responsible fashion
Building on the event's “a better way” programme, which launched in July 2023, the February edition plans to feature manufacturing and smart materials alongside fabrics, yarns, and leather.
The inclusion of deadstock materials by industry experts Adapta, Nona Source, and L’Atelier des Matières and a dedicated area for deadstock from PV Paris exhibitors will be featured at the show.
