From 22 to 24 February, Fiera Milano Rho hosted the 99th edition of Lineapelle.
The 99th edition of Lineapelle was long awaited, as well as adhering to the needs of the market. Thanks to the participation of 960 exhibitors from 31 different countries, two thirds Italians, the kermesse has decreed the triumph of the Italian highest quality and sustainability leather.
The International Exhibition of leathers, accessories, components, fabrics, synthetics and models closes therefore with a more than positive balance for the made in Italy. The 13,000 visitors coming mainly from France, Spain and the United States, but also from Turkey, Germany, the United Kingdom and Portugal have discovered the new face of our home fashion.
From Lineapelle 99 the image of a proactive fashion industry emerged, which has a great desire to return to normality after the pandemic. A desire for change and freedom that results in collections with a strong impact, characterized by fluorescent colors, ambiguous combinations and innovative processes. The summer of 2023 therefore will be the summer of novelties and creativity that does not set limits.
The market has also sent out a positive signal confirming a growing search for service and product quality through the rediscovery of nature, beauty and durability.
Among the most interesting events of this edition: A New Point of Materials which has placed the accent on the sustainable side of the tannery, the three Trend Areas with the exhibition of samples of leathers and materials and accessories for summer 2023 and in-depth seminars. Extraordinary success also for Leather and its Circularity, the exhibition of the most important business projects related to the circular leather path and Italian manufacture. Finally, the second edition of Mipel Lab, the digital concept dedicated to leather goods sourcing promoted by Assopellettieri and Lineapelle.
