I started collecting dates for these trade shows and thought you all would find it useful too. There are some well-known shows like Lineapelle and the Rocky Mountain Leather Trade Show but I’ve found a few lesser-known shows like Kingpins, which is for denim but is attended by companies like Riri and other leather related companies.
If you know of any other good shows for leatherworkers, add it to the comments and I’ll update the post.

A very useful list, thank you for sharing!
You’re very welcome. Thanks for reading!
Thanks for sharing the list of trade shows. Unfortunately, I have not attended any trade show in 2016 due to lot of work pressure and busy schedule. I have made my mind to attend at least two trade shows in the coming year. Can you please let me know some trade shows which are being organised in 2017 in USA.
Have a wonderful year ahead!
Thanks
Andy
Links were updated where possible. Thanks for checking-in!
Thanks for the wonderful list, but the URL of leather craft is not showing, the error is coming. The list will be useful for me, rest I miss the shows till September. Ahead if I got the time I’ll surely go. Best regards.
