MICAM Milano 102: discovering the new layout
The International Footwear Fair, scheduled to take place from 13 to 15 September 2026 at FieraMilano Rho, welcomes trade visitors with a new, more fluid and functional layout.
Keep reading...At Edition 160, which took place from 31 August to 2 September in Offenbach, international brands and retailers from the industry came together for the Spring/Summer 2025 seasonal order round, with lively order activity in the exhibition halls on all days.
ILM is and remains an important marketplace for the leather goods, accessories, and luggage industry. In addition to traditional leather goods retailers, more and more shoe and textile retailers as well as buyers from well-known department and concept stores are visiting the trade fair to supplement their range with bags, luggage, and accessories.
Which trends will be in demand in summer 2025? Ice cream colours such as cream, vanilla, and pistachio are on trend alongside strong red tones, especially coral. When it comes to materials, raffia and the combination of linen and natural leather are considered indispensable. Small details such as rivets, perforations and silk foulards further enhance the new bags. Function is the be-all and end-all when it comes to luggage and satchels. Suppliers meet the strict regulations of airlines, for example, with removable wheels on suitcases (Roncato) or practical (cooling) inserts on rucksacks (Reisenthel). Recycled materials are still very popular. Fashion and sustainability are not mutually exclusive.
