The 128th edition of Mipel will take place from September 7 to 9, 2025, at Pavilions 1 and 3 of Fiera Milano-Rho, showcasing over 200 brands. Alongside the wide range of exhibits, the fair will be enriched by special projects and areas designed to promote the sector and offer visitors an immersive experience that combines tradition, innovation, and entertainment.

Among the various initiatives, the Drink & Deals events are back, offering informal networking opportunities that aim to encourage the exchange of ideas and business opportunities in a convivial atmosphere. The events will be enlivened by DJ sets, tasty popcorn, and personalized Linea Daria canned cocktails, the creative studio that has made irreverent communication its trademark, to make the visit even more dynamic and engaging.

After the huge success of the February edition, Mipel Factory returns to the spotlight in Pavilion 3 as a true interactive workshop, where artisan excellence dialogues with the most advanced technological innovations. Created in collaboration with Arsutoria and some of the leading companies in leather goods technology and supplies, Mipel Factory offers visitors an immersive experience: they can watch live demonstrations of some of the stages involved in the creation of small leather goods items, made using
the latest generation of machinery equipped with automatic vision systems and artificial intelligence. In addition, visitors will be able to personalize an exclusive leather accessory with the Mipel logo and their initials, taking home a truly unique and unrepeatable souvenir.

Among the confirmations for the upcoming edition, again in Pavilion 3, will be the Trend Area, which will offer an overview of the key trends for the SS2026 season through a selection of bags and accessories that fully represent their essence.

The Italian Startup Project is also back, an initiative created in collaboration with ITA – Italian Trade Agency and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MAECI), which focuses attention on a selection of promising young Italian brands that have distinguished themselves for their creativity, contemporary vision, and ability to create products that meet market needs.

Showcase Milano, the space where design meets research and craftsmanship blends with innovation, will once again be in the spotlight with a selection of fashion and design companies chosen for their creative approach and strong stylistic identity.

Finally, The Eastern Edge, the area inside Pavilion 3 and a section of Pavilion 5 dedicated to companies from emerging markets such as India, China, and Pakistan, which, together with exhibitors from over 18 countries, contribute to making the fair a privileged observatory on global trends and developments in the sector.
