LINEAPELLE New York City

LINEAPELLE New York is an international trade fair for leather, materials, components, and design innovation, with a strong focus on the fashion, furniture, and automotive industries. Launched in 2001 by the Italian organizer LINEAPELLE S.r.l., the event is part of a long-standing tradition of hosting world-leading exhibitions for the leather and fashion sectors.

Twice a year, in January and July, the Metropolitan Pavilion in Manhattan’s vibrant Chelsea art district transforms into an international meeting point for industry professionals. Designers, buyers, and manufacturers from the worlds of luxury fashion, leather goods, automotive design, and interiors come together with renowned suppliers from Europe and across the globe. The fair showcases the latest developments in leather, textiles, synthetics, components, and accessories—from high-tech materials and sustainable production methods to exclusive designs and emerging color trends.

At the heart of the event are future-oriented topics such as circular economy, ecological responsibility, smart materials, and digital manufacturing technologies. LINEAPELLE New York positions itself not only as a marketplace for products but also as a source of creative inspiration. A thoughtfully curated trend area at the entrance provides an immediate overview of upcoming collections and guides visitors to relevant exhibitors. Complementary trend presentations offer deeper insights into material innovations, color palettes, and design directions—valuable guidance for decision-makers in the luxury and fashion design industries.

Exhibitors represent a broad range of sectors, including leather, textiles, and synthetic materials, as well as accessories and component manufacturers for apparel, footwear, handbags, furniture, and vehicle interiors. The diversity of the trade audience reflects this variety: professionals from fashion design, the automotive industry, interior architecture, and the luxury goods sector attend to network internationally, cultivate business relationships, and explore new ideas.

As part of the global LINEAPELLE exhibition network, the New York edition is embedded in an international platform recognized for setting industry standards and driving innovation. Its central location in Manhattan ensures not only easy accessibility but also a unique cultural atmosphere. New York is not only one of the world’s leading fashion capitals but also a powerful engine for trends, ideas, and creative energy.

The venue itself—the Metropolitan Pavilion—impresses with modern infrastructure and excellent public transport connections. As a result, LINEAPELLE New York is more than just a specialized business platform; it is also a place where global trends are born and brought to life.

The LINEAPELLE in New York City took place from Wednesday, 16. July to Thursday, 17. July 2025.
