I started collecting dates and locations for retail trade shows in the US and thought you all would find it useful too. Some of the well-known shows include events held by UBM Fashion, Designer and Agents, and Capsule but there are dozens of other smaller shows being held around the country too.
Trade shows offer entrepreneurs, manufacturers and designers the opportunity to present their work to prospective buyers and the general community at large. If you’re interested in getting some additional exposure for your brand, check out the list below!
If you know of any other good shows, add it to the comments and I’ll update the post.

really very nice blog. This is very informative and effective.
Leather trade
Thanks for reading, Gilbert! We’re always happy to help.
Great website and thank you for info on blog referencing trade shows. Is there a trade for leather handbag/sandal makers that are not large manufacturers… sells leather, has component, classes/lectures, machinery, trends, etc.
My profession is a graphic designer. I have been working in leather to possibly segway.
Hi Mindee. Thanks for your positive feedback! We’re not aware of such a show but will be sure to update the post if we come across something.
