Lineapelle 108, held from 15 to 17 September 2026 at Fiera Milano Rho, attracted 22,800 trade visitors, including more than 17,000 buyers. According to the organisers, 43% of attendees came from abroad, with a total of 114 countries represented.
A total of 1,029 exhibitors presented innovations in leather, materials, accessories and components for the fashion, luxury and design industries. Compared with the previous February edition, exhibitor numbers increased by 21%, while visitor numbers rose by 35%. The February event had been affected by logistical restrictions linked to the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics.
The programme also included presentations, talks and events focusing on creativity and innovation, sustainability, technology, education and changing market conditions. The organisers see the results as confirmation of Lineapelle’s importance for the international supply chain despite geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainty.
The next Lineapelle, dedicated to the Summer 2028 season, will take place from 23 to 25 February 2027.
