StevenSiegel Report post Posted August 28, 2010 Hi, It was suggested that I may want to post to this forum to help share some knowledge in the industry. (I have successfully woked as an expert witness in leather and engineered leathers which are unique to our company) So, I'll give it a try for a while and see how it goes. When we first started our website, about 10-12 years ago, one thing which I wanted to accomplish was to help spread good, reliable information about leather. One of these venues was to find a leather worker, well-respected, knowledgeable in a wide variety of disciplines, had no "bias" for one supplier/company over another and had good communication skills. I found such a person in Verlane Desgrange. We have archived all of the questions and answers at the following location. https://www.siegelofca.com/ask_verlane.asp Please feel; free to visit anytime, however the information cannot be reproduced without our permission.

Regards, Steven Siegel siegel.leather@gmail.com Steve, It has been some time since I have been to your shop but have always enjoyed the weekly emails and notes you send out to touch bases with your customers. It is a personal touch that others don't find the time for or think it is important to their business. I can't believe that you have found the time to post on this forum with all that is going on in your business (the move, the orders). The forum will be just that much better with you and your leather knowledge available. Rick J. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
