The fair was an huge opportunity to try to relaunch the sector once again, after Covid, despite the current tension of the conflict in Ukraine.

Our team was at the fair doing business, talking about costumers projects, looking for the new trends, getting aware of the new collections, keeping up with sustainability updates. And also becoming informed about the latest insights of the footwear industry. This way, we are even more updated on the industry and are totally ready to face new challenges.
