"Made in Italy" born as a declaration of origin is now a brand

03 فبراير 2023

Fulvia Bacchi, CEO of Lineapelle: "'Made in Italy' is now a real brand, something that combines quality and responsibility in production". So much so that other international segments of the sector are also present at the event attracted by the international charm of the brand.  Brazilian Leather and  ApexBrasil believe Brazil's presence at Lineapelle NY has fostered connections with international buyers and will generate $20 million in Brazilian exports over the next year.

 

 

Being made in Italy is more important than ever, according to Lineapelle CEO and UNIC general manager Fulvia Bacchi. “‘Made in Italy’ is now an actual brand, made in Italy is something that combines quality and responsibility in production,” she said at the Lineapelle international trade fair, which returned to New York this week, hosting more than 100 exhibiting leather companies.

During the show, exhibitors presented launches and the latest innovations from production, offering samples and materials that also tell the stories of their daily commitment to the development of increasingly circular and traceable products. Sustainable collections were the main focus for companies such as Gruppo Mastrotto, Limonta, Dani and Ecotan.

Overall, Lineapelle represents over 1,100 companies from around 40 countries. “In the selection that is made, the sustainability of the companies presented at the fair is an essential element and this is confirmed by the numerous certifications these companies possess. We mean sustainability in a broad sense. Not only environmental commitment, but above all, the social commitment,” added Bacchi.

This week, 15 Brazilian leather manufacturers exhibited their products at Lineapelle New York.

Supported by Brazilian Leather – a partnership between ApexBrasil (the Brazilian agency for the promotion of trade and investment) and CICB (the center for the Brazilian tanning industry) to promote exports of leather products from Brazil – the Brazilian companies that were present at Lineapelle this week joined leading leather manufacturers from around the world to meet buyers and designers in the sector as fashion and accessories brands plan the  their samples for the next summer season.

The Brazilian Leather project supports 137 tanneries and related leather producers across Brazil, accounting for 91% of the country's leather exports in 2022.
