Fashion keys: Leather

Friday, August 8th, 2008

Fashion keys: LeatherLeather has always been in most of the wardrobes, and it has accompanied us during thousands of years. Nowadays, the leather can be worn in every season of the year, including winter and summer. Leather is widely used in clothes and accessories. Designers work with the latest technologies to make leather, which is very soft to the touch.

This way, the fashion dictates the leather clothing for today: knee length trench coats, long blazers, short jackets, high waist skirts, male pants, vests, sport jackets and studded jackets (very eighties).

With regards to the color, black continues to be the favorite, followed closely by other classic colors like brown and beige. In winter, the white leather could be worn, the same as the patchwork type designs with mixed colors and even other textures like patent leather, suede or wool.

A black leather coat is something you should always have in your closet. This coat can be worn for any occasion, by day or at night: the leather will always make you look well and with style. You also should have a handbag (or purse) made of black leather and a leather belt for a perfect combination. In that way, you will be almost done with your wardrobe!

When the house gets dressed up in leather furniture

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

When the house gets dressed up in leather furnitureThere is a material that remembers the nobility, elegance and resistance: it’s the leather. For that reason, the furniture designs and decoration accessories use it as a basic material.

Leather armchairs, leather beds and other furniture items have a lot of styles and they match with wood and metallic furniture. Nowadays, for both styled furniture or rustic furniture, there are designs for everyone. Usually, the sofa is the star in the living room.

The most common colors are white, black and gray. Prices vary and, if the budget is limited, you can use alternatives (eco-leather, faux leather, etc), which cost half the price, and you can use the same design. If you have a white sofa, then you can add a bench with the same color and combine it with a black leather seat. Also, you can add table games, magazine stands and carpets.

For the dining room, you can also choose accessories with these materials. Wine stands, thermos flasks, maté gourds, trays and tea boxes are some options to choose from. And last but not least, the bedroom also follows this trend: the leather is in the bed, bedside tables and mirror frames.
