Preview do Couro (Leather Preview Collection) anticipates 2027 trends at Inspiramais in São Paulo

With a forward-looking approach, the Preview do Couro (Leather Preview Collection) showcase will soon be presented in São Paulo (SP), during Inspiramais. This exclusive leather collection anticipates future trends, sharing concepts, ideas, and elements that are set to influence fashion in 2027, based on the work of 19 tanneries. The theme for this edition is Turning Point. Discover it on July 15 and 16 at the Pro Magno Events Center. Free registration is available at www.inspiramais.com.br.

Preview do Couro is a joint initiative of the Brazilian Leather and Brazilian Materials projects, in partnership with the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (ApexBrasil). Inspiramais is promoted 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 Industry Association (Abimóvel), and ApexBrasil. The event is part of sectoral projects carried out by ApexBrasil together with the associations, namely: Brazilian Leather, Texbrasil, Brazilian Furniture, and Brazilian Materials.

The project’s coordinator, designer Marnei Carminatti, explains that Preview do Couro 2027_I focuses on the development of surfaces and finishes inspired by sensory experiences and contextual interpretation. “The reflections behind this cycle are grounded in the thoughts of Fritjof Capra, particularly in his work The Turning Point (1981), which challenges the Cartesian worldview and proposes a holistic and interconnected understanding of reality,” he highlights.

According to Marnei, Preview do Couro is a visionary project that strengthens Brazil’s leather sector through technical and creative consultancy, promoting the development of finished, original, and authentic leathers. Aligned with ESG principles, the project encourages sustainable practices, fosters transparency, and seeks a balance between economic progress, environmental responsibility, and positive social impact.
