Preview do Couro proposes a leather collection inspired by Burnout

Looking towards the future, the Preview do Couro exhibition (Leather Preview) will soon be presented in Taquara (RS, Brazil) during Inspiramais. This collection features leathers that anticipate trends, sharing the concepts, ideas, and elements that will be fashionable in 2026, created by 15 Brazilian tanneries. The theme for this edition is Burnout. Join us on 23rd and 24th July at the Faccat Events Centre. Following this, the exhibition will be in São Paulo (SP) on 30th and 31st July at Casa Petra. Registrations: here. https://www.inspiramais.com.br/ 
The Preview do Couro is organized by the Brazilian Leather and Brazilian Materials projects, in partnership with the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (ApexBrasil). The promotion of Inspiramais is carried out by the Centre for the Brazilian Tanning Industry (CICB), the Brazilian Association of Companies of Components for Leather, Footwear and Manufactured Goods (Assintecal), the Brazilian Textile and Apparel Industry Association (Abit), the Brazilian Furniture Manufacturers Association (Abimóvel), and ApexBrasil. These initiatives are driven by sectoral projects conducted by ApexBrasil in collaboration with these entities. Sectoral projects include Brazilian Leather, Texbrasil, Brazilian Furniture, and Brazilian Materials.
Project coordinator and designer Marnei Carminatti explains that the Preview do Couro 2026_I emerges with a contemporary take on the Burnout theme, transforming exhaustion into a celebration of style. According to Marnei, in this collection, Burnout is transformed into a creative and positive force, an ode to resilience and the reinvention of an exhausted scenario.
Here’s a preview of what will be presented in Taquara and São Paulo with the Preview do Couro 2026_I:

“The collection embraces the sophistication of black and faux blacks, symbolising depth and mystery with a dark and dramatic air. This is an invitation to delve into the shadows of difficulties, revealing the beauty that arises from moments of adversity and celebrating the hidden strength within each of us. Complementing this foundation, red, yellow, blue, and purple illuminate the collection, bringing bold and invigorating contrast to the upcoming season. The research themes – Fetish/Sci-Fi and Elegance/Chicness – are expressed through the developed products. Fetish appears in intriguing textures and sensual finishes, while Sci-Fi infuses a futuristic and inorganic touch. Elegance and Chicness are captured in clean lines and sophisticated design, offering a luxurious response to the emotional weariness of the Burnout theme.” – Marnei Carminatti, coordinator of Preview do Couro
