108 new leather companies at Fashion Access

26/09/2013
Leathergoods and footwear fair Fashion Access has signed 108 new companies to its current edition, under way in Hong Kong, taking the total to more than 300 from 20 countries.

 “We have our biggest delegations from Indonesia and the Philippines to date,” said Michael Duck, director of APLF Limited, organiser of the fair. “We also have exhibitors from Brazil, Italy, France and the UK. A good number of the Italian brands are repeat exhibitors, eager to further explore opportunities in the Chinese and Asian markets.”

Fashion Access has its origins in the Asia-Pacific Leather Fair (APLF) which created a sector for finished leather goods to complement its leather exhibition. APLF evolved into the Materials, Manufacturing & Technology fair (MM&T) while the finished goods sector spun off and became Fashion Access.
