Leather exhibition Lineapelle, and technology events Tanning Tech and Simac came to a successful conclusion in Milan on September 25 after three days.

Tanners at Lineapelle displayed collections of finished leather for the autumn-winter 2026-2027 fashion season, while technology providers showed innovations in machinery and systems for manufacturing leather at Tanning Tech, and for manufacturing footwear and footwear components at Simac.

Overall impressions ranged from people who were cautiously optimistic about an upturn in market fortunes, to those who felt the mood remains very muted, owing to geopolitical uncertainty and weak consumer confidence.
