I am very proud to present one of the extraordinary pillars of the " Made in Italy": Fashion in shoes and bags; that's why it is not by chance that we called our participation in this context as follows: "Fashion Appeals from Shoulders to Heels". Feeling extremely excited about this partnership with FDCI (Fashion Design Council of India), Assocalzaturifici (Italian Footwear Manufacturers' Association) and Aimpes (Italian Leather Goods Manufacturers' Association), we are looking forward to a great event to foster the trade relations between India and Italy in the fashion sector." said
