Starting from June 2025, Riva del Garda will introduce a new format of Gardabags, designed to optimize trade exchanges in the fashion accessories sector. This initiative, announced during the “Expo Riva Schuh” event, will feature a pavilion dedicated to bags, small leather goods, and luggage, divided into three specific areas to facilitate meetings between suppliers and buyers. Enzo Bassetti, board member of Riva del Garda Fierecongressi, emphasized the importance of this innovative project in a contracting market, aimed at generating value for the city as well.
The new Gardabags will offer a versatile platform with three segments: Gardabags Sourcing, for low-cost producers; Gardabags Sourcing4Bridge, dedicated to mid-range suppliers; and Gardabags Brands, reserved for companies with their own brands. With approximately 120 exhibitors spread over 2000 square meters, the project aims to enrich the exhibition offering and enhance the visitor experience through engaging setups and detailed information about the exhibitors. General Director Alessandra Albarelli highlighted how this initiative represents a unique opportunity to develop business relationships and discover new trends in the fashion industry.
