Lots of content and great energy from Lineapelle

Despite the complex economic situation, Lineapelle 103, held at Fiera Milano Rho from 20 to 22 February 2024, closed with a positive balance that opens up glimmers of confidence for the leather, luxury and design supply chain. As many as 25,376 sector operators (up on the February and September 2023 editions) who animated with their interest and search for novelty the stands of the 1,167 exhibitors at Lineapelle with their collections and projects for Spring-Summer 2025, characterised by strong innovative research and a clear propensity for diversification of markets, proposals and destinations. The influx of foreign operators was significant (39% of the total) with a prevalence of buyers from France, Spain, Germany, Great Britain, Turkey, the United States and China.
The vitality of Lineapelle 103 and its ability to open new horizons even in a particularly worrying market moment, found expression and (great) interest in all the contents that enriched the exhibition experience, starting with the success of the six Lineapelle Designers Edition fashion shows. Very positive feedback also for the first edition of Lineapelle Interiors/Leather Duets, a business culture exhibition that staged a sequence of installations, each of which was represented by an exclusive leather design project shared between a made-in-Italy leather manufacturer and a furniture company. There was also great involvement for In The Making Atto II (an interconnected and multidisciplinary space where visitors to Lineapelle were able to take part in a series of craft workshops using leather) and for the second edition of the Science Based Fashion Talks, opportunities for debate and sharing that aim to discover and define green strategies for the entire supply chain and that on this occasion dealt with topics of great topical interest for the sector such as deforestation, fashion sustainability, circularity, eco-design and decarbonisation.
