At Hosbo we are back from vacation with our batteries full and looking forward to September. This month, two of the most important events of the season await us, as far as fairs are concerned; we will be at Première Vision Paris from 19 to 21 September and at Lineapelle Milan from 25 to 27 September.

Two of the most important leather fairs in Europe

Both are two of the most important trade fairs at European level in the leather, accessories and components for footwear sector. At Hosbo, we have always had a close relationship with trade fairs. During the days when they take place, they are the showcase of many leather and fabric manufacturers like us. A great opportunity to showcase our work, in this case, our Autumn/Winter 2019-20 collection.

With these events we are able to become active precursors of fashion. From Hosbo we are able to set trends thanks to colors, textures and prints and be the inspiration for attendees. All of them artists, designers and manufacturers, who decide to bet on our brands and trust our skins to give life to their ideas and creations.

The success of the trade fairs is marked by the number of visitors to the stand, the information they want about our company and the first contact they make with us to establish possible business relationships. The future success will be determined by how many of these visitors become an active customer of our company and decide to rely on our skins.

It is exciting to be in this world full of creativity, people with wonderful ideas and prodigious minds to be able, through a skin, to glimpse their idea. We will be giving you more information in the next few days, as always, to update you on all our steps.

Trade fair locations

Première Vision Paris: Parc Des Expositions Paris Nord Villepinte.

Lineapelle Milan: Fieramilano RHO.

Both events will bring together professionals from the sector and visitors of all kinds, most of them related to the world of fashion and trends.

Summer is a perfect season when we love to wear shoes. Ideally, we should wear good leather shoes that do not rub our feet. In summer the foot tends to widen and the only thing that is able to adapt to its shape is a good leather sandal, which guarantees comfort and convenience. Also, in summer, we are always prone to sweating much more and leather shoes have a better absorption.

In HOSBO, as leather producers and experts in the field, we want to give you a series of tips and a few tips, so that the summer shoes survive you for more than a season.

TIPS for the proper use of our sandals

Wear our favorite sandals? Yes, of course, but not for many days at a time and with rest intervals. It is important to let them rest so that the skin of the shoe can return to its shape. This way, the skin will last much longer in perfect condition.

Terraces, dust, sand…. In summer, we tend to walk on many more surfaces, which end up staining our shoes. Therefore, it is important to check after each use and clean them if necessary. It is important to use the right products to do this, such as a brush, a cotton cloth and even a product that will restore moisture and shine to our shoes. We left you a previous post, in which we talked about how to treat our goatskin.

What do we do if our sandals get wet? In summer it is much more common for our feet to sweat and end up wetting the shoe. In these cases, dry the sandal gently and then use a wooden or paper last to absorb moisture from inside in a gentle and non-aggressive way. We should avoid using direct heat, such as a hair dryer, as it may be counterproductive and may harden the skin.

And lastly, the during is as important as the post use. The most advisable would be to keep our sandals with your last and inside a cotton bag. Also, if the shoe in question has a decorative element, or fits snugly around the ankle, even more care should be taken not to lose its shape.

These simple tips, a priori, are not always carried out, but if we incorporate them into our daily routine, our sandals will last more than a season and the skin of our shoes will remain in perfect condition. Now, enjoy the summer!

 

During the month of July, at Hosbo we practiced our English. Lineapelle London and Lineapelle New York, respectively, were the first destinations of our 2018 summer trade fair season. As you know, it’s been our first year in London. A small fair, in a very picturesque hotel with a privileged location, was the showcase for the new Autumn/Winter 2019-20 leather collection. In the Anglo-Saxon capital, we show two of the most outstanding new products of this season.

On the one hand, the image of our new catalogue. A powerful image in vibrant and striking purple tones, very much in tune with what our new collection symbolizes. A striking image to symbolize our brand and our passion for the work we do every day. All the attendees, could know our catalogue first hand, all the others, you will be able to enjoy it downloading it from our web soon.

New member of the HOSBO family

Another novelty presented at Lineapelle London and NY was our new leather proposal, “PURE”. A natural-looking leather, soft to the touch and with a range of colours in total harmony with our new proposals. A novelty that we are very much looking forward to showing you and above all, we hope you like it as much as we do.

In both fairs, both in New York and London, we have had a very good reception among the attendees. These events are always an ideal source of learning, not only to interact with potential clients, but also to be in an artistic and fashionable environment. Surrounded by artisans, who like Hosbo, show their new proposals and that allow us to learn, nourish and above all, share experiences. New York and London have been just the beginning of our summer fair route, but we are still working on the following appointments.

PREMIEREVISION LEATHERS PARIS 29, 20 AND 21 SEPTEMBER

LINEAPELLE MILAN 25, 26 AND 27 SEPTEMBER

FUTURMODA ON 17 AND 18 OCTOBER

 

In recent years, we have been immersed in a trend towards a more responsible awareness and lifestyle towards our environment and the planet. This is undoubtedly a good thing and it is happening, to a greater or lesser extent, in all areas. One of them is footwear, and that is precisely what was discussed at the 20th International Congress of Footwear Technicians. The event was marked by the need to find ways to produce more resource-efficient products that reduce water and energy consumption and minimize the dumping of hazardous chemicals and waste.

New methods for leather tanning.

The event featured one of the most recent developments in the industry, which will improve the way leather is treated. By means of a laser and plasma that would not only meet European requirements in terms of sustainability and eco-efficiency, but would also be more resistant to water, fire and micro-organisms. Everything, to minimize the impact of production processes on the planet. The conference also addressed the issue of the ageing of footwear workers and the need to attract young talent to take over from one generation to the next.

At Hosbo we have a line of chrome-free leathers.

We are immersed in a process of change and evolution and therefore, it is important to work every day to improve in everything we can. At Hosbo, for example, we have a completely chrome III and IV free, 100% organic line. To offer an alternative to all those who are allergic to this component. In addition, all Hosbo leather is free of chromium IV, an environmentally harmful substance with negative effects on people and animals. In addition, our company works daily to improve and contribute our grain of sand to a more responsible awareness, with environmentally friendly and environmentally friendly production processes.

 

 

The world of fashion is changing and very fleeting. There are many professions and companies linked to this professional field, from leather producers, such as Hosbo, to designers and creatives, who must always be up to date, ahead of each season and know how to evolve with the environment.

Innovation is part of our everyday life and is always present in everything we do. Our goal to improve and offer the maximum diversity and quality to our customers is a constant and daily work. That is why, every season, we look for inspiration in everything around us and we launch different proposals to the market. At Hosbo we always try to be true to our style, and we offer our most recognized and classic leathers every season, in addition to the new fantasy collections. In addition, we offer our customers the best qualities. One of the foundations of our philosophy as a brand.

“Pure” joins the big HOSBO family

This year, we wanted to add a new product to our big family of furs and we at Hosbo think you’re going to love it. We have called it “PURE” and as its name suggests, it is a natural looking, very soft to the touch, small grain leather with a color palette aligned with our proposals for fall / winter 2019-20. We will present this new incorporation in the fairs we visit during the summer, September and October months and we hope that it will be very well received and that you will like it as much as we do. We’ll keep you updated.
