Expo Riva Schuh to “fill gap” with accessories fair
16/01/2018
They said the idea for Gardabags came about from “a specific request from the market” and aims to “fill a gap”.
“There is no other event in Europe for the mid-segment of the accessories market,” said Carla Costa, exhibitions manager for Riva del Garda Fierecongressi. (However, the twice-yearly Milan-based Mipel bag show is co-located with shoe fair Micam.)
She added: “An analysis of visitors to Riva Schuh revealed that around 20% of buyers also purchase bags. With Gardabags we aim to respond to these demands while also attracting other buyers, with the right product offering, that combines Asiatic production with that of Italy, Spain and France.
“I would like to think that Gardabags could also become a place for young designers and their artisanal products.”
The next edition of Expo Riva Schuh, and Gardabags, in Riva del Garda will be held from June 16 to 19.
