The industry meets in Düsseldorf. New name, usual high quality, even more creativity. And always the perfect location for Order & Business. Beyond the core product of shoes.
At SHOES DÜSSELDORF from March 6th to 8th, 2022 everything revolves around the new collections for autumn/winter 2022/23.
High charisma / The place to be for business & order The industry loves Düsseldorf. The attractive, inspiring ambience of Areal Böhler has an almost magnetic effect on exhibitors and visitors. Clearly structured and with a high-quality selection of German and international brands, buyers will find everything that makes a fashionable offer here: women’s, men’s and children’s shoes rounded off by trendy accessories.
With more than 600 brands, SHOES DÜSSELDORF promises buyers a tactile and emotional ordering experience, even in challenging times. In addition to leading German brands, numerous agencies with international collections – including those from Italy, Spain, Portugal, Turkey and Scandinavia – are showing their colors in Düsseldorf. “Many well-known brands are convinced of the success of the trade fair and have found their way back to Düsseldorf. We are very happy about that and so we are de facto fully booked in the space available to us,” emphasizes UIrike Kähler, Managing Director Igedo Company. In addition, SHOES DÜSSELDORF is coming up with a number of exciting newcomers for the coming edition. In addition to fashion, the focus is on topics such as function and sustainability.
“Consumers are concerned with topics that reflect the spirit of the times, such as sustainability, well-being and vegans. These products are also increasingly sought after for shoes and accessories. We are very happy that we were able to win some very interesting companies with strong collections from this area. These are great products that could also create more excitement on the retail floor,” explains Ulrike Kähler. When structuring the halls, SHOES DÜSSELDORF ensures quick orientation. “We do everything we can to create a pleasant, safe and clear working atmosphere for exhibitors and buyers. People work and order in Düsseldorf. Concentrated, creative and effective,” says Ulrike Kähler.
We are convinced that we have caught the spirit of the times with SHOES DÜSSELDORF. This type of face-to-face event is important and just right for all industry participants. We don’t rely on gigantism – on the contrary. The tailor-made format of SHOES DÜSSELDORF meets the requirements that buyers from large corporations, but also owners of medium-sized and small businesses, place on a trade fair. The SHOES is the perfect place to place targeted orders, to meet colleagues and to gain new inspiration for your own business and to implement it individually on site.
