“The US administration’s decision to set tariffs at 15% on imports from the European Union, which also includes products from the companies we represent, is the \u201clesser evil\u201d we can face. Although less punitive than the initial proposals for even higher tariffs, this decision will still have an overall negative impact on the fashion accessories sector: we must remember that the weakening of the dollar is already a contributing factor. The risk is that it will slow down investment, employment and growth at a time when the economic and geopolitical situation is already fragile.” – said Giovanna Ceolini, President of Confindustria Accessori Moda.<\/p>\n

Tariffs on imports from the European Union are a significant burden on the sector, significantly affecting company margins and the competitiveness of Italian companies in the United States, one of the key markets for Made in Italy exports.<\/p>\n

The fashion accessories sector \u2013 which includes footwear, leather goods, tanning and fur \u2013 exported almost \u20ac3 billion worth of goods to the United States in 2024. This performance, despite a slight decline of 3.5% compared to 2023, demonstrates the strength of Italian exports.<\/p>\n
