Key trend directions:

'Less is more' is the overriding trend at this season's Lineapelle where classic leathers in classic colours and plainer skins - focused on texture and finish rather than embellished decorative surfaces - have come to the fore
Prints and more adventurous techniques, meanwhile, were left to the synthetics and fabrics manufacturers.
Exotic skins continue to maintain their importance but were either very natural or fake-looking with over exaggerated embossing
Natural fabrics such as linen, hessian and canvas are also key. Woven and embossed woven leathers added textural interest to an all-together more cleaner season
Other highlights include powdered coatings in soft pastel shades; netted mesh leathers in various sizes; subtle sparkle and shimmering suedes; hardware trends including leather coverings and metal mesh
