Italian fashion clusters achieve growth, in spite of leather
Further analysis of figures for the first nine months of 2024 have led Italian financial services group Intesa Sanpaolo to attribute export growth of 2.3% for the country’s top ten fashion manufacturing districts.
These ten districts, which include the leathergoods manufacturing cluster near Florence and the leather-making cluster in Arzignano, achieved exports with a combined value of €33.7 billion over the nine-month period in 2024. This represents growth of 2.3% compared to the same period the year before.
