 Expo Riva Schuh India has, by now, become a fundamental date in the international exhibition calendar. Having reached its third edition, the showcase for footwear and leather accessories has claimed it role as the fair of note in the Asian continent and will be back, from 4th to 6th July at the Pragati Maidan Exhibition Centre of New Delhi.
There will be footwear, bags, gloves, belts and leather accessories on offer from both Indian and international exhibitors. For the 2013 edition, the event will take up four of the exhibition centre’s halls (Hall 8, 9, 10 & 11) where companies and buyers, both Indian and international, will have the chance to meet and establish new contacts, for production and also for distribution. In fact, the really distinctive trait of this event is that of being, above all, a business platform, with a display of worldwide production from the principle Asian areas together with a selection of Italian and European brands. Right from the very first edition, the exhibition has demonstrated continued growth: In 2012, there were 168 Indian and international exhibitors, who met 3,795 buyers (16.2% more than the first edition in 2011). The growing number of visitors is also the result of promotional activity in the major distribution areas of Asia. The great news this year is the presence of an Italian Group with companies and brands from the top end of the footwear and accessories sector, in a top fashion area: a space dedicated to ‘Made in Italy’ which will show off the very best of Italian production. A mission made up of Italian companies is also planned to Mumbai in the days immediately preceding Expo Riva Schuh India. From July 1st to 3rd meetings are planned with local importers and distributors who always show the greatest interest in purchasing western products. (29/05/2013) |
