The inaugural three-in-one format of the All China Leather Exhibition (ACLE), the China International Footwear Fair (CIFF) and Moda Shanghai, held in Shanghai, September 3-5 2003, has been deemed a great success by its organisers. 

 

12,400 visitors from 56 countries and regions attended (+33%) and exhibitor numbers increased 19%, compared with 2002.

 

According to the Asia Pacific Leather Fair Ltd, ACLE provides a marketplace for professionals to source footwear and leathergoods. CIFF and Moda Shanghai, meanwhile, present a wide range of finished goods, including footwear, handbags, fashion accessories, leather garments and travel goods.

 

For the first time, CIFF and Moda Shanghai invited buyers to vote for the ‘Buyers’ Choice Award’. Exhibits were rated in terms of colour, design, material, process and size.

 

The next edition of ACLE, CIFF and Moda Shanghai will be held September 1-3 2004 at the Shanghai New International Exhibition Centre.
