Thanks John. That all sounds really interesting. I'll definitely check it out. I haven't looked into cork but if I find anything interesting, I'll let you know.<br />

Hi<br />
Is the materials collection at London College of Fashion any good? I've never been. There's also a collection online at Kingston Uni which they sometimes have staff to update: <a href="http://www.kingston.ac.uk/~kx19789/rematerialise/html_and_flash/searchwelcome.htm" target="_blank">http://www.kingston.ac.uk/~kx19789/rematerialise/html_and_flash/sea...</a><br />

<br />
Tricorne Leather & Synthetics Ltd Leather Suppliers. Tel: 020 8450 9988| Unit 11, Millennium Business Centre, 3, Humb, Humber Rd, London, NW2 6DW sell a lot of patterned vinyl.<br />
<br />
Griffine of France used to sell some of their vinyls through Soho Silks off Berwick St: I'm not sure if they still do. Also Open Space 200 Brick Lane keep a huge stock of heavy victorian-doctors-bag-kind of floppy leathery vinyl from the same company.<br />
<br />
I'm researching cork at the moment and don't know how to connected facts. Cork seems to work to add bulk colour and texture to backings and varnishes on each side.<br />
<br />
Wikipedia mentions something about Ocean Leather made of Kelp, but I can't find any other links to it on Google:<br />

<br />
Norgahyde in the UK comes from <a href="http://www.abbeyfabricsuk.com" target="_blank">http://www.abbeyfabricsuk.com</a> who also sell a UK-made wood-based microfibre that for some reason they're unwilling to sell to some customers - either it's exclusive to other customers or it's too biodegradable for shoes or something like that. They call it Axiom and I'm not sure who makes it for them.<br />
<br />
Hope this helps<br />
