Mipel show opens in Milan

13/02/2017
As well as hosting the February edition of the Micam footwear show, the Rho exhibition site in Milan is also the setting for leathergoods fair Mipel (February 12-15).

The event is organised by Italian leathergoods manufacturers’ association AIMPES. This year’s edition, the 111th time it has taken place since its launch in 1962, sees more than 300 companies exhibiting a range of leather products, including handbags, wallets, belts and gloves. 

Among its features is the return of the Italian Artisan initiative, an online programme set up by AIMPES that aims to put footwear, accessory and clothing craftsmen in touch with up-and-coming designers and international retailers. This year, it will offer training sessions and workshops focused on helping brands to grow sales with the help of digital tools. 

Since September 2015, Micam and Mipem have had a closer connection. Mipel now occupies Hall 10 of the Rho exhibition site, giving it a much more integrated position.
