11–14 January 2025 – the Riva del Garda exhibitionkicks off the autumn-winter 2025/26 season. Over 1,000 exhibitors, including companies and brands, 8,358 retail outlets represented by visiting buyers, and more than 100 participating countries.

The retail world is rapidly evolving and smartphone apps are playing a key role, as highlighted by the numerous ideas by startups set to feature at the January edition of the Innovation Village Retail at Expo Riva Schuh & Gardabags.

The stagnation of international marketplaces, not only in Europe, is forcing the manufacturing world to look for new business partners. In this sense Gardabags can be a very important opportunity for supply and demand to meet.

The calendar of events, meetings, market focuses, speeches, meetings, competitions and occasions not to be missed inside and outside the Rivana event.

About 130 Turkish companies will be present at Expo Riva Schuh in January, representing world-leading production with excellent prospects for further development, focusing on flexibility, research and sustainability. We talk about this with Berke Icten, President TASD

A vocation that highlights the freedom of the Riva event from which derives the ability to renew and innovate to meet the challenges of the international market.

The aggregation of the two market leaders, with a turnover of 480 million and 300 shops, will generate synergies and value for all stakeholders.

The brand does not betray its vocation for practicality and maximum wellbeing in all everyday situations, focusing on lightness and technologies such as Step-In.

The ‘four worlds’ that have characterised the famous brand since its origins return in the new collection presented at Pitti Uomo: mountains, rubber, vulcanisation and sport.

The brand, which was founded in 1946, continues its quest for lasting high quality and closeness to nature, with a style that transcends fashions and the passing of time.

Following its takeover by CAPRICE, the historic brand has seen its image and circulation relaunched, with the S/S 2025 collection being stocked at over 700 specialist retailers.

Three new trainer models characterise the new winter collection of the brand founded in 1886, combining heritage and sporty elegance.

The collection, designed in collaboration with Phoenix, offers a smooth surface in pastel colours, ready to accommodate the signs and heart of each journey, like a traveller's personal diary.

The world football legend and 2000 Golden Ball winner presents his first collection inspired by the timeless elegance of Made in Italy at Pitti Uomo.
