Rise and shine with the leather industry’s greatest opportunities www.leatherworldME.com

THE DEFINING SHOW FOR LEATHER In 2015, Dubai witnessed the inaugural edition of Leatherworld Middle East, the region’s only dedicated trade show for the world of leather.

Over three action-packed days, 2,359 trade visitors from 66 countries discovered the very latest developments, trends and technology.

There were 86 reputed exhibitors from 16 countries, showcasing a staggering variety of animal hides, production machinery, chemicals, and stylish products that included leather handbags, footwear, accessories and garments.

Luxury was the underlying theme of the show, with a specialised Trend Area being the focus of all eyes, displaying innovations in leather that had never been seen before in the region.

Regional leather market •T he GCC’s US$4.09 billion worth of leather imports and exports in 2014, along with US$1.9 billion worth of manufacturing capabilities, reinforces an ideal backdrop for Leatherworld Middle East to become one of the world’s premier trade and networking platforms.

•T he GCC is a leather manufacturing hub; according to EMI, US$1.9 billion worth of dressed leather, luggage, handbags, saddlery, harnesses and footwear were produced in the Gulf region last year, with Saudi Arabia (US$1.1 billion), the UAE (US$468 million), and Qatar (US$250 million) being the region’s big three leather producers.

•M arket figures released by analysts Euromonitor International show that the MEA small leather luxury goods market (wallets, purses, card holders, and other accessories) was valued at US$270.7 million in 2014, and is growing by 13.7% annually to reach US$453.5 million by 2018.

We are a shoe manufacturer in Ajman, so we usually have to travel to all the big leather shows in Europe to source the leather, machinery, accessories and soles that go into manufacturing our shoes. We already have three suppliers exhibiting at Leatherworld Middle East and now we will probably find more – the best thing is that we can source all our needs here in the UAE without having to travel too far.

It was really educational and I was able to learn about the different kinds of leather and what applications they are used for, which as an interior designer, is very important. In one day I’ve sourced about seven suppliers and there’s no minimum spend so they are very flexible. I will definitely return next year. All designers should live at the show during its three days.

FACTS & FIGURES YOU CAN RELY ON

This collaboration opens our students’ minds in terms of what they can do with leather. We wanted to introduce them to the world of leather, which plays a major part in fashion, and it’s also important for them to interact with global suppliers at Leatherworld Middle East. The garments on display are so lovely and are a great representation of not only local designers’ talent, but also how leather and fashion go hand-in-hand.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Leather Production

Business Matchmaking Program

From being behind the scenes traditionally to shining at the forefront, tanneries and leather producers benefited immensely from a presence at the Leather Production Zone in 2015. It’s where they promoted their products and proficiency to fashion and interior designers, upholstery manufacturers, and other key players in the leather ecosystem. The 2016 show looks forward to bolstering the position of such leather producers even further.

Fashion Avenue

Complimentary services

They might be called finished leather goods, but they’re only at the start of a very promising upward trajectory in the fashion industry, thanks to the increasing popularity of leather. The 2015 edition of the show reflected this fact with the latest in garments, accessories and bespoke products, and the 2016 edition will open up new opportunities and avenues into fresh markets, for exhibitors.

The Leatherworld Middle East team values your presence at the show, which is why we work hard to ensure your successful participation.

Shoe Box With shoes being among the most passion-inspiring leather products, this section proved to have a lot of heart and sole in 2015, where custom footwear manufacturers and mass producers came together to connect with department stores, retail groups and the like.

The 2016 show will present more potential for such valuable relationships, thanks to greater awareness and returning trade visitors.

Designers’ Area Both established as well as promising new designers expressed their creativity and commercial viability in the Designers’ Area in 2015, to an enthralled audience. At the upcoming show, prove your talent to the world and the professional buyers who matter – it could be the launch-pad for a successful career, or a valuable test bed for market feedback.

Trend Area A section dedicated to the newest and latest innovations and inspiration, the Trend Area attracted considerable attention in 2015, with more than 200 products showcased, from Shagreen (stingray skin) pouches and laser printed calf hides to 22-carat gold-embossed alligator skins.
