As you know, we are immersed in the new autumn/winter 2019-2020 collection. A show that will incorporate new features, of which we will keep you informed, and that will be more than ever based on the trends we present. With all this in progress, and fully involved in the work, we are waiting for the starting gun to be fired for the season of national and international fairs. During our particular tour, we have unavoidable dates that are repeated every year, some recent additions, such as New York and some totally new ones, such as London. This year, for the first time, the capital of the United Kingdom is waiting for us.

In recent years, London has been competing for the position as the undisputed successor to “Fashion Capital”, thanks to its Fash Tech. Acronym that describes the intersection of fashion and technology. And to such important issues as having the most prestigious fashion school in the world; Central Saint Martins. This makes it one of the cities with the largest pool of talent on the international scene. With all this in your favour, Lineapelle London, could not happen otherwise: A hotel with a modern and chic air; Ham Yar, located in the heart of the metropolis, a single day, July 10, prestigious European fur producers and a trendy atmosphere and at the forefront of new trends.

Hosbo’s team will be there to present the proposals for autumn/winter 2019/20 in the room “Room The Croc”, number 33, and to tell you everything that happened. London is just the beginning of a long list of international fairs that we will be walking through during these months. We leave you the calendar so that you don’t miss any details:

When you buy a leather product, such as shoes, it´s important to give them the care they deserve to increase their durability and that they do not suffer deformations over time or wear the color. From Hobos, and as experts in dealing with goatskin, we offer you a series of tips so that, when we acquire a leather shoe, it stays as the first day for much longer.

It´s important to pay attention to some easy tips. We must store our shoes properly. If they are going to remain in boxes for a long time, as when we make the change of season, they should go inside a cotton bag with their corresponding lasts to keep their shape. Do not abuse cleaning products that may be counterproductive. If our footwear requires creams, greases, brushes or chamois, it is important that they are of the best possible quality and that after application we remove the excess product. Failure to apply them correctly may damage the skin of the shoe. Finally, it is appropriate to use a shoehorn to avoid deformation and also to facilitate the fit.

Treatment on goat skins

Goat skins, such as the ones we have at Hosbo, are ideal for footwear and are also top quality, so it is important to give them the attention they deserve. Although a shoe with this type of material can last for years, if we take care of it it will have the shine and appearance of the first day. How do we take care of our leather shoes? If we apply any type of cream it is important that it is solid in texture and in the corresponding tone. Once the product has been chosen, we brush the shoe to remove any dust residue it may contain, then apply a small part of the bitumen and brush thoroughly to remove any excess product it may contain. Finally, we rub with a cotton cloth all the shoe to dry it completely and that the shoe is not damp.

The shades and prints that will be the must this spring/summer.

Pastel colors. This year, pastels are in fashion. Soft colours ideal for delicate footwear.

Pantone, like every year, marks the colours of the season.

Everybody to the Pantone: Pantone, like every year, talks and tells us what the colour of the season will be. This year, the Ultra Violet has undoubtedly been the clear winner. An intense purple and closely related to the cosmos that will mark each of the clothes and accessories of the season. Another of the tones to highlight is Chili Oil. A mixture of orange and brown, which will be perfect in the summer months when we have the darkest and most tanned skin. You can also enjoy the Emperador color, the brown in its most classic version, returns with strength to bring a classic touch to all our outfits.

At Hosbo, we are manufacturers of goat leather for cutting and lining. Most of our leathers are sold to create footwear, handbags, or any accessory you can imagine. This makes us keep up to date with the latest trends and imitate the fashion industry. In recent years, and with the massification of low cost shops and low quality accessories, we would like to highlight the advantages of using leather footwear in this case.

In our company, we are based on the use of goat leather as the epicenter of production for cutting, although we also use porcine leather for lining. Goat leather differs in that it is very thin and therefore very flexible in its use. They have superior quality, thanks to their compact structure and excellent feel. Without forgetting that it´s an extremely resistant leather ideal for footwear. There are many advantages to using this type of material, and although a shoe of these characteristics may be a little more expensive, its virtues are noticeable in the long term. As for the porcine leather, used for lining, it has excellent results, as it is a very adaptable and resistant material.

Advantages of wearing leather shoes.

Sometimes, we are not fully aware of the importance of our feet in our bodies, and taking care of them is almost an obligatory task. A good material for our footwear should be an important topic. Leather shoes usually have greater qualities and performance than we imagine:

Durability: With the advent of fast-paced fashion, we have forgotten that good footwear can last for several seasons, with little or no noticeable passage of time. Something, no doubt, to keep in mind.

Comfort and adaptability: Leather shoes tend to adapt to our feet without rubbing or injury. They adapt to our morphology, acquiring their anatomical shape and making our skin comfortable and the shoe does not deform with use.

Better perspiration: They absorb much better the natural sweating of our feet. Therefore, it avoids bad smells and keeps our feet drier and more protected than other materials.

For all these reasons, at Hosbo we always work to make our leathers the best choice of any shoe manufacturer and therefore, we advocate the use of good quality leather shoes.
