The international footwear and accessories industry will gather at Expo Riva Schuh & Gardabags 2026 in Riva del Garda from 13–16 June 2026, offering brands, buyers and retailers an early look at the latest market trends, innovations and business opportunities.

A key highlight this season is PRISM, one of the major Spring/Summer 2027 consumer trends. Inspired by the immersive colour installations of Olafur Eliasson and the neon-inspired works of Dan Flavin, the concept focuses on fragmented materials, vibrant shades and refracted-light aesthetics transformed into bold footwear and bag designs aimed at driving impulse buying.

Innovation will also remain central to the event through the 10th edition of the Innovation Village Retail and Startup Competition, organised with Retail Hub. Startups in Hall A2 will showcase new retail technologies and business ideas, while live pitches on the Main Stage will highlight practical solutions shaping the future of retail.

With trend forecasting, networking and sourcing opportunities under one roof, the event continues to serve as a key hub for the global footwear and accessories market.
