Première Vision Paris 2026: A&A Vesa Returns with New Shearling, Leather & Fur Innovations for AW 27/28
This September, A&A Vesa is heading back to Première Vision Paris. We will be present from 1 to 3 September 2026 at Paris Nord Villepinte, showcasing our new shearling, leather, and fur direction for the Autumn/Winter 2027–28 season. For us, this is not just a trade fair. It is where long-term business relationships are built — and where natural materials find their next chapter.
If you are a boutique owner, a retail buyer, or a private label manufacturer looking for genuine craftsmanship from a European tannery with over 30 years of experience, this article is for you.
What Is Première Vision Paris — and Why It Matters for Leather & Fur
The World’s Most Influential Fabric & Materials Trade Show
Première Vision Paris is widely regarded as the most important textile and materials trade fair in the world. Held twice a year at Paris Nord Villepinte, it brings together thousands of manufacturers, designers, and buyers from over 100 countries. The fair covers fabrics, leather, fur, accessories, yarns, and manufacturing services.
For brands and buyers sourcing premium natural materials, Première Vision is essential. It is where the direction of the next season is set — not just in terms of colours and textures, but in terms of values, technology, and production philosophy.
For manufacturers like A&A Vesa, it is the most direct connection to the international market. In two and a half days, we meet buyers and partners we would otherwise spend months reaching through traditional channels.
Innovation & Technology: The Central Theme for September 2026
The September 2026 edition of Première Vision is built around a compelling central theme: Innovation & Technology. The fair will explore digitisation, smart materials, artificial intelligence, and circular practices across two main stages.
One stage focuses on technological innovation in materials and production. The other centres on fashion and beauty trends for the coming season. Together, they map the full spectrum of where the industry is moving — and where forward-thinking manufacturers need to be positioned.
For A&A Vesa, this theme resonates deeply. We operate our own tannery in Buteni, Arad County from Romania. This means we control the entire production chain, from raw hide to finished garment. Innovation, for us, is not a marketing concept. It is something we apply directly in our factory every season.
Our First Participation in February 2026 — and What It Opened for Us
New Partnerships Across the US and European Markets
Our first appearance at Première Vision took place from 3 to 5 February 2026, at the same venue — Paris Nord Villepinte. We approached it with clear goals: introduce A&A Vesa to an international audience, present our shearling and natural fur collections, and identify serious buyers and partners.
The results exceeded our expectations. That February edition opened genuine new collaborations — both in the American market and across several European countries. These are not casual inquiries. They are ongoing business conversations with buyers who understand natural materials and value the authenticity of a manufacturer with its own tannery.
That experience validated something we had suspected: the international market is actively looking for European manufacturers who combine traditional craftsmanship with modern production capacity. A&A Vesa fits that profile precisely.
What We Learned from Our Début at Première Vision
Our first participation taught us how international buyers approach a trade fair stand. They arrive prepared. They ask precise questions about MOQs, lead times, customisation options, and certifications. Therefore, presentation matters as much as product quality.
However, the most important lesson was simpler: showing up consistently builds trust. One participation introduces you. The second confirms you are serious. The third makes you a reference. We are now in the second chapter of that journey.
Why A&A Vesa Is Returning to Première Vision in September 2026
Presenting Our AW 2027/28 Collection to International Buyers
The September edition is specifically dedicated to Autumn/Winter collections. This makes it the ideal moment for us to present our AW 2027/28 shearling jackets, natural fur coats, and leather outerwear to buyers who are planning their next season’s purchases right now.
International buyers — from department stores, concept boutiques, and online luxury platforms — attend Première Vision with open order books. They are looking for exclusivity, European origin, and genuine material quality. Our collections specialise in premium shearling and leather — materials we have been tanning, finishing, and transforming into garments since 1994. Alongside shearling and leather, we also work with mink and fox fur, sourced directly from Saga Furs (Finland) and Kopenhagen Fur (Denmark), two of the most respected auction houses in the world. Every skin is processed entirely in our own tannery in Buteni, Romania. That combination of specialisation and vertical integration is what international buyers come to us for.
In addition, our capacity for private label and OEM production means we can work with brands that want to develop their own designs using our expertise and materials. This is a significant part of what we offer at the fair.
A New Product Category: Transparent Material Leather Goods
For the September 2026 edition, we are introducing something entirely new to our portfolio: a product line using transparent materials combined with leather and fur elements. This is a category we have not explored before — and one that directly reflects the Innovation & Technology theme of this Première Vision edition.
We are not yet revealing full details of this product line ahead of the fair. However, it represents a genuine creative and technical step for A&A Vesa. Transparent materials open new possibilities for garment construction, layering effects, and visual contrast with natural textures like shearling and fur trim.
If you are a buyer looking for something genuinely new — a product that does not yet exist in most boutiques — this is worth seeing in person at our stand in Paris Nord Villepinte.
The AW 27/28 Themes We Are Exploring at Première Vision
Smart Materials and Digital Innovation in Fur & Leather
The AW 2027/28 season will be shaped by the intersection of natural materials and technological thinking. Smart materials — those that respond to temperature, moisture, or movement — are entering serious discussions in the leather and fur sector.
For A&A Vesa, this means exploring how our tannery processes can be adapted to enhance performance characteristics of natural hides, without compromising the material’s authenticity or warmth. The integration of digital tools in pattern-making, grading, and quality control is already part of how we operate. We will be sharing more of this at the fair.
Circular Practices and Responsible Sourcing
Sustainability is no longer optional in premium fashion. Buyers — particularly from the US and Northern European markets — ask direct questions about sourcing, traceability, and production ethics.
A&A Vesa sources its shearling skins directly from slaughterhouses, ensuring full traceability from the earliest point in the supply chain. Our mink and fox fur is purchased exclusively through the world’s most rigorously audited auction houses — Saga Furs (Finland) and Kopenhagen Fur (Denmark). Our leather hides come from certified suppliers. Every material enters our own tannery in Buteni, where we control the full process through to the finished garment.
Therefore, when we discuss circular and responsible practices at Première Vision, we speak from a position of genuine accountability — not marketing language.
AI-Driven Design and the Future of Natural Materials
Artificial intelligence is changing how collections are conceived, how trends are forecasted, and how buyers make sourcing decisions. For example, AI trend analysis tools now allow buyers to predict two seasons ahead with much greater accuracy.
For manufacturers, this means the ability to prepare production capacity more efficiently and to develop materials that align with algorithmically identified consumer preferences. A&A Vesa is actively monitoring these developments. At Première Vision, we expect to see the most advanced applications of AI in material development — and to incorporate relevant insights into our own design and production process.
Who Should Visit Our Stand at Première Vision Paris September 2026
Practical Information: Location and Opening Hours
The September 2026 edition of Première Vision takes place at Paris Nord Villepinte, one of Europe’s largest exhibition centres, easily accessible from Paris city centre by RER B (station: Parc des Expositions).
Opening hours for visitors:
- 1–2 September 2026: 9:00 am – 6:30 pm
- 3 September 2026 (last day): 9:00 am – 5:00 pm
We recommend visiting on the first two days for a more relaxed conversation. The last afternoon tends to move quickly. If you plan to visit specifically to meet us, contact us in advance to schedule a dedicated time slot at our stand.
Boutique Owners and Multi-Brand Store Buyers
If you own or manage a boutique — whether in London, New York, Copenhagen, or Milan — and you are looking for a shearling, leather, or fur outerwear brand that offers genuine European manufacturing and a willingness to work on exclusive pieces, our stand is where that conversation starts.
We work with a limited number of retail partners per market. This is intentional. We value long-term relationships over volume. In addition, we offer buyers the possibility of co-developing colourways, finishes, and silhouettes within our existing production framework.
Wholesale pricing for resellers reflects the most competitive rates we can offer as a direct manufacturer — without intermediaries, without agents. You work directly with the factory. That difference is visible in the price. Our minimum order quantity is 5 pieces per model, making it accessible for boutiques that want to test a new style before committing to larger volumes.

Private Label Manufacturers Looking for OEM Production
If you have your own brand and your own designs, but you need a factory with the technical capacity to produce shearling, leather, and fur garments at a professional level — with full tannery control — A&A Vesa offers OEM and private label production services.
We have been manufacturing since 1994. Our factory in Buteni handles the complete process: tanning, cutting, sewing, finishing, and quality control. We work with international brands who require European origin certificates and full production traceability.
The same direct-manufacturer pricing applies to OEM clients. There are no middlemen in our supply chain. The MOQ for private label orders starts at 5 pieces per model, which makes it realistic even for smaller brands developing their first production run.
Private Label & OEM Manufacturing
How to Start a Collaboration with A&A Vesa
Meeting us at Première Vision Paris Nord Villepinte in September 2026 is the fastest way to start a conversation. Bring your catalogue, your sizing requirements, and your target price points. We will bring samples, material swatches, and production capacity sheets.
However, if you cannot attend the fair in person, you can reach us directly through aavesa.com. We respond to all serious enquiries within two business days.
We also attend trade fairs in february 2027 at The One Milan in Rho Fiera, so if Paris in September does not work for your schedule, there are other opportunities to meet in person before the AW 2027/28 order window closes.
