Less than a month before its realization, the first edition of the Brazilian Footwear Show - BFSHOW, taking place from November 21 to 23 at the FIERGS Events Center in Porto Alegre, RS, holds great expectations for exhibitors and retailers. The fair, featuring over 100 of the leading national brands in its first edition, expects more than 10,000 Brazilian retailers and buyers from all continents. BFSHOW is organized by the Brazilian Association of Footwear Industries (Abical\u00e7ados) in partnership with N\u00fcrnbergMesse Brasil. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the confirmed groups at BFSHOW is Oscar, one of the largest in the country with 180 stores across the interior of S\u00e3o Paulo, Vale do Para\u00edba, Tri\u00e2ngulo Mineiro, Joinville\/SC, Alagoas, and Para\u00edba. \"I believe that 2024 will be a very challenging year for retail, and this type of event, in addition to strengthening the footwear sector, allows us to exchange information with manufacturers and other market players. This is the first time this fair is happening, and I hope to find a lot of information to select products for Winter 24,\" says the group's product manager, Elisa Gasparetto Indalecio. She points out that since the network develops part of the women's collection as a private label, it is important to find good manufacturers for these developments and exclusive projects. \"Being at an event with this quality of exhibitors always creates an opportunity for good business,\" she concludes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The director of the Dinni group, which has 27 stores in Bahia, Sergipe, and Rio Grande do Norte, Alberto Rocha Nunes Filho, emphasizes that, given the confirmed brands, the expectations for BFSHOW are quite positive. \"We are expecting a lot from the fair organized by Abical\u00e7ados, which brings big brands from all segments and footwear clusters. The fair will be important not only for generating business but also for contributing to fashion trend studies and insights,\" he assesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
International Presence<\/strong> One of the confirmed importers at the fair is Carlos Alberto Londo\u00f1o of Grulla y Wellco from Colombia. \"For our company, it is very important to keep up with the evolution of the Brazilian footwear industry through BFSHOW. We hope to find great brands and achieve good business to further integrate the Brazilian and Colombian markets,\" says the buyer. The group is one of the leading players in the Colombian e-commerce. <\/p>\n\n\n\n According to Abical\u00e7ados, data shows that Colombia has been buying more Brazilian footwear in 2023. According to the organization's data, more than 6.9 million pairs were exported there between January and September, a 4.4% increase from the same period last year. Currently, Colombia is the fourth main destination for Brazilian footwear (in pairs) abroad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Ne Lochlan group, a footwear distributor in Costa Rica, comes to Brazil in search of sports, children's, men's, and women's shoes. The company's president, Alejandro Venegas Benito, emphasizes that being at the fair is very relevant, especially for strengthening the relationship with Brazilian brands they already work with and for exploring new products and options. \"Another important factor is the significant presence of international buyers, as the exchange of experiences between markets is very valuable.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n Expectations<\/strong> About the organizers <\/strong> About Abical\u00e7ados <\/strong> A pouco menos de um m\u00eas de sua realiza\u00e7\u00e3o, a primeira edi\u00e7\u00e3o da Brazilian Footwear Show – BFSHOW, que acontece entre os dias 21 e 23 de novembro, no Centro de Eventos FIERGS, em Porto Alegre\/RS, traz \u00f3timas expectativas para expositores e lojistas.
