What Did Participants Say?

This fair has been a good surprise for us. We have customers who are here to do business and discuss new possibilities. Thailand and the surrounding countries have been growing markets for us, so it’s been very important to be here with our customers.
​ Otavio KleinCommercial Manager, Minerva Leather (Brazil)
It was good to connect with the leather industry in Thailand and Vietnam. There were definitely some handbag suppliers that I met who were based in Vietnam and were really interesting, and I’ll be following up with them.
Julia FordHead of Design and Sales, Kathryn Wilson (New Zealand)
It was insightful, efficient and well-organized. The show gave me trend knowledge as well as a chance to scale and improve my production capabilities.
Ryan ChoyFounder, Faire Collective (Singapore)
It’s a great event and very specific to what I need. The exhibitors are really accommodating. Some companies supply to luxury brands as well. I can get here many products that I can’t find in my country.

About APLF

We bring leather, material and fashion businesses together: an opportunity to meet and greet face to face. We bring them from all parts of the world so that they can find fresh partners, discover new customers or suppliers and keep ahead of industry developments.

 

We organise a number of trade exhibitions which focus on fashion and lifestyle: sectors that are constantly in flux, so visitors and exhibitors alike need to be constantly aware both of the changes around them and those forecast for coming seasons.
