Re: IML: Pearlescent Leather # of Hides

[Gale jorgensen <gjorgensen@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Right now the hot clothing trends are pealized and metalic leathers for 
womens clothes and assc. ( like purses )- most of this is made overseas 
- BUT it might be possible to find hides with the fabric outlet places. 
and the ciutters......Cloe Haan has some GORGOUS leathers - but they 
buy from overseas and where not able to help.
But when the trend changes again I would think there will be some 
pretty hides coming on to the market
