The 86th edition of SAPICA, held last March at the Poliforum in Leon, Mexico, was pervaded by a different feeling, something similar, but not yet equal, to normality, going down in history as the best edition in recent years.
For the event, one of the most important in America for the footwear and leather goods sector, the challenge is now to keep on moving forward, creating new experiences and seeking new synergies to become a platform driving the commercial growth of Mexican footwear and leather goods brands. With this goal, thanks to the institutional relations with the Foreign Trade Agency, a close collaboration was created with fair no. 1 in the world of the sector: MICAM. The Italian leather goods and footwear industry is a world leader in the development of fashion and prestige brands and MICAM proudly represents them, presenting the collections of top-level brands twice a year. This synergy has materialized in dedicated areas, showrooms and conferences, recording a decidedly stimulating result, with a well-structured organization able to meet the expectation: the excellent products generally presented on Italian soil were enthusiastically welcomed at Leon, which turned into a small fashion capital for a few days.
The atmosphere at the fair was fervent and the desire to start doing business again was great. The exhibitors showed their collections and highlighted their stands through creative and captivating showcases and concepts. The trends area, a part of which curated by MICAM, hosted materials, textures, colors, while the section dedicated to Emerging Designers, created according to the same Milanese concept, attracted the attention of many trade operators who came to discover authentic talents.
Fil rouge of the event is the growing commitment to sustainability, with the presentation of materials, constructions and concepts in line with the idea of recycling, reuse, durability of products.
A great comeback, possible thanks to the constant commitment to improvement that Sapica pursues year after year, catching the demands of the market, exhibitors and buyers, supported by the Mexican production cluster, known throughout the world as one of the footwear manufacturing hubs of excellence, quality and design.
The next edition is scheduled next August, 2022.
