Very positive results for Lineapelle 108

The leather supply chain successfully restarts from Milan


More than 1,000 exhibitors took part in the three-day edition of Lineapelle (15–17 September), which welcomed 22,800 trade visitors, including more than 17,000 buyers from 114 countries, marking a 10% increase compared with the benchmark September 2025 edition. This result is particularly significant in view of an economic and commercial climate that continues to demand caution, responsiveness and the ability to seek out new perspectives across the entire supply chain. 

Lineapelle has therefore become the trade fair the industry needs and cannot afford to miss, not only because it brings together a unique and comprehensive international offering in Milan, but also because it provides an indispensable platform for networking, discussion and planning, particularly at such complex and unpredictable times. Against this backdrop, Lineapelle 108 offered exhibitors who were able to interpret these trends valuable grounds for confidence as they approach the final part of the year, despite unresolved geopolitical tensions.

And while brands’ strategies and operating models are undergoing profound transformation, being present at Lineapelle has taken on even greater strategic importance for companies capable of maintaining a strong market presence, demonstrating reliability and a clear vision for future projects, building relationships and preparing for the changes under way. The spotlight now turns to the next summer season, Spring/Summer 2028, which will take centre stage at Lineapelle 109, scheduled to take place from 23 to 25 February 2027.
