A duality that promises to please every taste. The leading trends for Fall/Winter 2026 footwear and handbag collections set, on one side, a classic ladylike style—defined by pumps, sandals, and peep toes with a more modern reading. On the other, a rebellious streetwear look, featuring hardware and buckles. And Brazil’s leading footwear manufacturers are already tuning into these trends to present them to buyers at the 5th BFSHOW, The biggest footwear tradeshow in Latin America. The event, held by the Brazilian Footwear Industries Association (Abicalçados) and organized by NürnbergMesse Brasil, will take place November 10–12 at Distrito Anhembi, in São Paulo/Brazil.
“Boots will take center stage this season and appear in multiple versions—slouch, over-the-knee, stretch—and in different shaft heights,” says Luana Lanzini, a cofounder of the Fashion Directions fashion and research platform. She also notes that in a season when the basics will be revisited, distinctive heels, a mix of materials in different textures with statement details, and new cutouts will draw attention. “In terms of shapes, elongated pointed toes, modern square toes, and high vamps are icons of modernity,” she adds.
80'Fever
And what else can we expect to see in the aisles of this edition? According to Fashion Directions’ survey, boho will also remain on the rise for another season, but this time it comes with cozy textures and warm tones. “But the big news will be the return of ’80s-inspired maximalism: vibrant colors, intense shine, and statement pieces that break with the minimalism and austerity of the last few winters,” reveals Luana Savadintzky, also a cofounder of the fashion platform.
Vizzano—a brand defined by a DNA of glamour and soft power—will bring this trend strongly in its upcoming launches at BFSHOW. These are shoes and handbags that translate the festive season, with sandals in colors such as red and silver.
New Boho
Those betting on a new take on boho include Moleca. Its next collection will feature a reinterpretation called Motomoda (or Moto Boho), which blends the delicacy of fluid pieces with the rebellious attitude of motorcycling. For the collection, black predominates, adorned with details such as studs — tachas — on footwear, shoulder bags, and bucket bags.
Among Beira Rio’s launches, mules and block-heel sandals with casual-chic inspiration will take the spotlight. For Fall/Winter 2026, the brand will present new options from its collaboration with actress Camila Queiroz, such as handbags with embellishments in organic shapes.
At Bebecê, there will be three main styles: the classic, which revives the sophistication of pumps and sandals, but with details such as strategic cutouts and the application of metal pieces. In contrast, the folk aesthetic—set to appear on boots—arrives with a more rustic look and earthy tones, featuring animal prints, semi-gloss finishes, and the velvety texture of suede. Lastly, the dark style bets on a bold, sensual look, with gothic references represented by mini metal accents and studs (tachas), and a color palette of intense, deep tones such as black, tourmaline, and fig.
“Trends are very important when it comes to developing collections, as they serve as indicators of the market’s expectations and directions. Aligned with brand values and with what is happening in the world, trends have a direct impact on the development of the color palette, the choice of materials, and the design of the styles. This alignment is essential for us—both for creating a collection with a unique identity that reflects our consumer’s personality and for crafting pieces that meet market demands,” emphasizes Monica Salin, Bebecê’s creative coordinator.
