MIPEL, the great leather goods fair, returns in February 2025

Milan returns to the centre of the world scene with the great Fashion Shows at the Fiera Milano-Rho exhibition area, starting from leather goods with MIPEL, which will be held concurrently with Micam and TheOne from 23 to 25 February, Milano Fashion&Jewels (22-25 February) and Lineapelle (25-27 February).

Promoted and organised by Assopellettieri, with the support of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MAECI) and Agenzia ICE, MIPEL is ready to give space and visibility to the FW 2025-26 proposals of over 200 brands, including historic names and emerging realities, both Italian and international.

‘MIPEL is a strategic moment for the leather goods sector and for all the players involved. There is no doubt that the sector is going through one of its most delicate moments, but the important thing is not to lose its footholds and avoid attitudes of closure; for buyers and companies, especially small ones, the show represents a fundamental business opportunity as well as an opportunity for comparison, networking and updating on new and emerging trends,’ says Claudia Sequi, President of MIPEL and ASSOPELLETTIERI.

Confirmed for the next edition is ‘The Italian Startup Project’, realised in collaboration with ICE-Agenzia and MAECI, which showcases young Italian brands that have distinguished themselves for their original creative idea, research and desire to create something in line with market demands. Showcase Milano also returns, a space dedicated to fashion and design companies selected for their innovation, research and creativity.

Special attention will be devoted, as usual, to the Trend Area in Hall 3, the iconic space that will offer an overview of leather goods trends for Autumn-Winter 2025-26.
