Last week, the winter edition of the world’s largest shoe fair, Micam, and the largest leather fair, Lineapelle, were held in Milan, Italy. Shoegazing was there, here’s a summary of the impressions from the fairs as a whole and from some selected exhibitors.
The famous Italian tannery Ilcea and its owner Gruppo Vecchia Toscana has launched a webshop where one easily can buy single hides and have them shipped worldwide. A welcome addition especially for bespoke shoemakers or other small operations.
Anyone interested in footwear will have come across a number of different tannery names in the marketing of the shoe companies’ products. Shoegazing goes through many of the main suppliers of materials for quality shoes, to give you a good overview of what, where and how things are made.
