Importers, brand buyers, boutique owners and specifiers are among the many buyers who come to meet suppliers of footwear, bags, leathergoods, travelware, garments and accessories.
Focus Country – India: Since its inception in 1984, in very modest surroundings, APLF has developed into being far more than just another trade exhibition. The steady growth of the fair has been due to its ability to reflect the constant changes within the industry, even as they were taking place.
