Last week members of the Townsend Leather family from around the globe meet together for an exciting and productive week in Orlando at the largest aviation event in the US, NBAA.

Townsend’s booth was perpetually busy showing customers and Townsend fans everything new that we have been working on and catching up with friends/customers (one and the same).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We loved having booth visitors play our interactive personality game, get their hands on the new leathers we had on display, and just sit and chat a while.  We had so much leather and so much to look at, it was easy to spend a long time in the booth “shopping” for samples.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We showed some brand-new, still in R&D, not publicly available woven samples that were a big hit.  As were our new collections Corked Cowhide, Fifth Avenue, and Softina.  People were also drawn to our eye catching Pops of Color collections its companion Shades of Grey and our newest way to choose your perfect grain pattern – Great Grains.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was exciting to see Townsend Leather spread throughout the exhibit hall in a few different exhibitor booths like Constant Aviation and Epic Aircraft.

And it was equally as exciting to have the ‘extended family’ there with our partners from The Leather Institute and Studio Vizto.  The Leather Institute was very busy providing expertise and insight into leather care.  Studio Vizto a stunning precision crafted chair on display.  The chair was revered by all that passed by it, treating it like artwork – nervous to get too close.

It was all around a great show, with many deep connections made, lots of laughs and lots of fun.  We love having the opportunity to spend time with customers in the busy, but still intimate setting catching them up on what’s new at Townsend and listening to their needs.  We are already looking forward to next year!

We also loved seeing the KISS cover band!  They were great!
