A new issue of World Leather is available now, with something of a special focus on Brazil. Our Leather Leaders interview is with CICB president, José Fernando Bello.

Beyond Brazil, we introduce independent wet-end leather chemicals developer Muno and offer a full round-up of the recent IILF exhibition in Chennai.

Our closing article, in Beast to Beauty, tells the heartening tale of Deux Mains, an accessories and footwear brand that is providing employment and hope in Haiti. We hope you enjoy the whole magazin
