Brazilian shoe brands hope to capitalise on sourcing shifts
Forty-two Brazilian footwear brands are heading to Italy for Expo Riva Schuh, taking place between June 14 and 17 in Riva del Garda.
According to Paola Pontin, business coordinator at the Brazilian Footwear Industries Association, shipments from the sector are projected to grow between 1.2% and 4.1% for the year (in pairs).
He said: “Given the global nature of the trade show and the international instabilities caused by the tariff war between the US and China, we have seen increased demand from American buyers, who represent the main international market for Brazilian footwear. At the show, this movement is expected to grow even stronger.”
Riva Schuh is in its 103rd edition and will host 1,000 exhibitors with buyers from more than 100 countries.
