D&A Group at Lineapelle Milano 2026 | Material Innovation × Cross-Industry Design × Sustainable Solutions

From September 15 to 17, 2026, Lineapelle will once again draw global attention to the leather industry.

As part of D&A Group, three brands—D&A Edge Polymer, Technical Control, and Lorence will take part with a full lineup. Centered on the theme of “Material Innovation × Cross-Industry Design × Sustainable Solutions,” we will showcase a comprehensive range of innovations, from next-generation materials to eco-focused solutions.

D&A Group × Parsons School of Design (Europe First Exhibition) — Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration

For the first time, D&A Group has partnered with Parsons School of Design to create a meaningful dialogue between materials and fashion. Parsons students work with D&A Edge Polymer and Lorence products as their creative media, integrating forward-looking design thinking into leather craftsmanship. The resulting series of works combines experimental approaches with strong artistic expression. These creations will make their first European public debut at Lineapelle, highlighting the limitless design potential of edge paint —while marking a new milestone for D&A Group in advancing material innovation through cross-sector collaboration with design education.

In addition, D&A Group has collaborated with well-known partners across the leather industry. Carefully selected premium leather substrates paired with D&A Edge Polymer’s advanced processing capabilities to create a curated selection of fashion handbags. From material feel to edge paint finishing detail, each completed piece reflects a refined combination of quality leather and innovative technology—demonstrating our uncompromising pursuit of excellence in both quality and aesthetics.

D&A Edge Polymer

Global Innovation Special-Effect Edge Paints — On-Site Fashion Highlights

D&A Edge Polymer will showcase two new special-effect edge paints: The Gleam and Rocky. Inspired by pearlescent mother-of-pearl iridescence and the tactile character of natural roughstone, these innovations elevate edge paint through advanced light play and layered texture depth.

Guests will also be able to experience finished fashion pieces created with The Gleam and Rocky. From fluid, light-shifting iridescent effects to rugged, rustic roughstone textures, each item reflects exceptional design vision and craftsmanship—offering attendees a direct look at how cutting-edge edge paint transforms leather goods with fresh character and compelling design language.

Technical Control

Technical Control will showcase three water-based resin products at the exhibition, focusing on sustainable upgrades for leather applications. Our high-gloss top-coat resin for lacquered leather creates a glossy, crystal-clear appearance with a smooth and silky hand feel, making it ideal for leather goods, bags and footwear applications.

Our non-ionic resin, specifically developed for sofa leather coatings, significantly enhances softness and resilience, delivering a fuller and more comfortable seating experience. For automotive seat applications, our polycarbonate resin provides excellent scratch and abrasion resistance, ensuring long-lasting durability against daily friction and scuffing.

Lorence

Lorence will focus on leather care and recoloring solutions. Our bio-based cleaning gel and foam cleaner feature plant-derived formulations that are fully biodegradable, pH-neutral and gentle, effectively removing various stains from leather surfaces.

Our TP color series delivers excellent coverage without the need for additional color-fixing agents, while providing outstanding dry and wet rub resistance, making it ideal for scratch repair and complete leather recoloring. The Aqua Stain series water-based waxy dyes create artistic effects such as vintage tones and gradients, giving leather blanks a natural and translucent appearance. The entire range features waterborne, eco-friendly formulations that balance safety and high performance.

Innovation in materials, green technology, design collaboration, and industry alignment—September 15–17, 2026. At Lineapelle Milano, D&A Group will reaffirm its commitment to shaping a more sustainable future for the leather industry.

We look forward to welcoming you in Hall 24, Booth F04-06—let’s explore new opportunities together.
