Mipel cheered by rising visitor numbers

30/09/2013
Organisers of Mipel, a Milan-based trade fair for handbags and leathergoods that took place in mid-September, said  5.3% more visitors than last season is “reason to believe that the domestic market is reviving after a hard struggle”.

Visitors from Italy increased 10 while overseas attendees rose 1%.

“The results we achieved came as no surprise; the journey we set out on with our 103rd show still has many great innovations in store, all designed to improve service to exhibitors and the experience of the buyers, not least the launch of the show’s ecommerce platform @Mipel, designed to bring Mipel to a wider audience,” said Giorgio Cannara, president of Mipel and Aimpes, Italy’s leathergoods association.

Next season’s show will be from March 2 to 5, 2014.
