Ambassador abn Posted February 13, 2007 Ambassador Report Posted February 13, 2007 I happened to catch a half-hour show on Florence, Italy on the Travel Channel the other day. A portion of the show was dedicated to Florence's reputation as a major leather producer -- Gucci is located there, and a few other famous names I can't remember now. I've also heard that Buenos Aires, Argentina has a fantastic leather industry, both factory-based and handmade, due to its close location to the Pampas and its large cattle trade. So, my questions are these -- 1. Which cities would you consider the world's leather capitals? 2. Which city would you pick for the United States? Quote
Moderator Johanna Posted February 13, 2007 Moderator Report Posted February 13, 2007 Ft. Worth, Texas. This year's IFoLG show will be held there this year. I went to the last show that the Lonestar Leathercrafters hosted, in 1997, and it was an incredible experience, from the participating guilds to the (then brand new) Stohlman museum, to exploring the town and the stockyards. I want to go this year, too. http://www.2007ifolgshow.com/ Johanna Quote You cannot depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus. - Mark Twain
