The trade fair in Riva del Garda continues to evolve and grow by focusing both on the main, traditional themes and by broadening its gaze on those complementary to the fashion industry. We are talking about innovation, trends, business opportunities designed ad hoc to bring supply and demand together, sharing knowledge, experience and ideas. Edition after edition, Expo Riva Schuh & Gardabags consolidates more and more its position of importance for all those involved in the sector who see in this fair not only an appointment to do business but also to stimulate interpersonal relations and share in the development of the entire sector.
