In the heart of Paris, the Leather Sample Library is an inspirational hub celebrating the culture and craft of leather

Functioning like a library, our hub catalogues and classifies a full range of leather varieties (colors, textures, finishes, etc.) made available by French tanners.

By appointment only, this inspirational venue welcomes fashion students, and other cross-disciplinary creatives, career changers, fashion designers, shoemakers, leather artisans, designers, interior designers, and all professionals interested in exploring leather’s possibilities.

Twice annually, new collections breathe life into the signature offerings of French tanners.

A visit to the Leather Sample Library is the perfect opportunity to get to know leather, taking the time to understand it and to experience the material firsthand, to get inspired and explore the potential of leatherworking.
