The new biannual event, designed to become a benchmark in the sector, will debut next October in the heart of Italian footwear production. The initiative is supported by the Region and the Marche Chamber of Commerce and involves local business and trade associations as well as trade fairs such as Micam and Expo riva Schuh & Gardabags. The aim is to offer companies in the supply chain a strategic platform for producers, distributors, buyers and style offices to meet, present new products and strengthen commercial contacts.
It is a unique opportunity to discover the latest trends, technological innovations and excellence in the region, further strengthening the position of the Fermo-Macerata district, which, with around 3,000 companies and over 20,000 employees, is one of the world’s most important centres for high-quality production in the footwear and accessories sector.
ABC Accessori Borse Calzature Fashion Event takes place in a context of great challenges for the entire footwear sector, which is grappling with the economic situation, trade tensions and supply difficulties. ‘We are trying to bring buyers closer to local companies, which have shown interest so far, but the audience will also have to include footwear and handbag manufacturers from our region and neighbouring regions,’ said Valentino Fenni, president of ‘Abc fashion event’.
The leather and technology trade fairs and, for the first time, the yarn trade fair will be held together from 23 to 25 September at Fiera Milano Rho, offering an integrated representation of the supply chain in the name of innovation.
MICAM, MIPEL, Milano Fashion & Jewels, TheOneMilano and SI Sposaitalia Collezioni have created a coordinated international trade fair ecosystem, making Milan an unmissable event for global fashion retail.
The leading international trade fair for SS 2026 handbags and accessories returns to Milan from 7 to 9 September (with dates brought forward in view of the Winter Olympics).
