Leather Buyers focus on Upper Price Points
An article in Furniture Today, a trade news magazine, notes that customers are asking for higher quality goods and reliable delivery dates in the leathers industry, with a return to a sophisticated, natural look that focuses on bright colors (even though 80% of all leather sales are done in brown)
I've seen that same trend in my store, with a noted backlash against leather coming from tanneries in China. When new leathers are presented at the furniture market, the trend is most definitely moving to non-Asian leather sources. Customers are realizing they will have to pay more for better product and seem to be willing to do so more than in years past.
