Partner of Paris Capitale de la Création, Accessoire Avenue - le salon de la Maroquinerie (Fine Leather Goods trade fair) and le Salon de la Chaussure MIDEC (Footwear trade fair)- brings together essential professionals and confirms its position of "fashion business" challenging trade fair.

A key event, Accessoire Avenue is evolving to receive, guide and serve you better. It is with this in mind that 27,000 nominative invitations were sent out to purchasers, thus giving them access to the fair without having to wait.

There the "Accessoire" bar, a friendly, trendy place to relax, welcomes buyers who will be able to pre-select items and appreciate the diversity of the collections, colours, shapes and materials before anybody else in total tranquillity and to the rhythm of lounge-fusion music.

As to our visitors, made up of retailers, department stores, mass marketing, ready-to-wear, ... Thanks to the Paris Capitale de la Création synergy that unites fashion and home trade shows in Paris, 30% of visitors now come from abroad from more than 80 countries.

To define its trends in fine leather goods the Bureau de Style Chaussure Maroquinerie Cuir has taken inspiration from the poetic influence: the city and nature will be in league for winter 08/09. It provokes surprise and releases a new creative energy in four fashion stories: "exaltation", "sensuality", "therapy" and "back to the future".
It also tells us five stories for shoes for the spring-summer 09 season where fashion trends are vigorously affirmed with the themes "projection", "meditation", "fusion", "claims" and "green"...

The Accessoire Avenue "coups de coeur" (irresistibles) will award trophies to eight companies freely chosen by the members of the jury according to the well-defined criteria of creativity, know-how, ingeniousness and aesthetics ...
