Lineapelle

Lineapelle is an international trade exhibition for the tannery and leather goods sector which is held twice yearly in the fair district of Milan, Italy: in February for the following year‘s Spring/Summer season and in September for Fall/Winter. It covers an area of around 45,500 m² and features around 1,300 exhibitors and 20 thousand visitors from more than 100 countries.[1][2] The first edition was held in 1981 in Milan, inspired by the Preselezione Italiana Moda shows which had been held in Florence since 1971. Lineapelle moved to Bologna in 1986.[3]

The exhibition is organised by Lineapelle S.p.A., a Milan-based company which, since 2003, has run Lineapelle Asia, a parallel exhibition in Canton aimed at the Asian market.[4] It also holds previews of the ideas and trends which will be showcased at the Bologna show in Milan (Anteprima) and New York City (Trend Selection NY: ‘New trends in leather, textiles and synthetics for shoes, handbags, leathergoods and leatherwear’).[5][6]
