Lineapelle 103: an edition packed
with vitality and content
Event on the rise compared to previous editions
Lineapelle 103, held at Fiera Milano Rho from 20 to 22 February, celebrated the conclusion of a particularly busy edition that raised confidence levels in the leather, luxury and design industry. Over 25 thousand industry insiders (up on the 2023 edition) brought their interest and their search for new ideas to the stands of over 1100 Lineapelle exhibitors, who showcased their Spring/Summer 2025 collections and projects driven by innovative research and a clear propensity for diversification of markets, proposals, and destinations.
Turnout from foreign operators was high (39% of the total), with a prevalence of buyers from France, Spain, Germany, UK, Turkey, United States and China. The vitality of Lineapelle 103 and its ability to open up new horizons even at this particularly worrying time for the market were revealed across the content on show at the trade fair, beginning with the success of the six fashion shows by Lineapelle Designers Edition. There was very positive feedback for the first edition of Lineapelle Interiors/Leather Duets, a business culture exhibition that staged a series of installations, each of which was represented by an exclusive leather design project shared between a Made in Italy leather manufacturer and a furniture company. The fair’s side events also proved highly popular. In The Making Atto II (an interconnected and multidisciplinary space where Lineapelle visitors were able to take part in a series of craft workshops using leather) and the second edition of Science Based Fashion Talks both provided opportunities for debate and sharing in a bid to discover and define green strategies across the supply chain.
