Expo Riva Schuh India makes its mark

28/07/2011
The first edition of Expo Riva Schuh India, a new international event dedicated to footwear and leather accessories organised by Riva del Garda Fierecongressi, opened on July 28 in the Pragati Maidan exhibition centre in New Delhi.

The organisers claimed the exhibition is the first event in Asia completely dedicated to finished footwear and leathergoods.

“Expo Riva Schuh India is above all a business opportunity,” said Riva del Garda Fierecongressi president, Roberto Pellegrini, in the build-up to the event, “both for international dealers who want to enter the Indian market, as well as for Indian companies interested in forming new manufacturing and distribution partnerships.”

Among around 200 exhibitors, the organisers were expecting to welcome representatives from Italy, France, Spain, Austria, and the United Kingdom, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Thailand, alongside “numerous delegations” from India and China.

The exhibition space included areas designed to highlight specific themes, such as fashion innovation and trends. Training and research also featured prominently, with India’s National Institute of Fashion Technology and Footwear Design & Development Institute both playing an important part.
