QUARTERshoetime & bags Orderdays Schkeuditz

The QUARTERshoetime & bags Orderdays has been the established B2B trade fair for shoes, bags, and accessories since 1995, serving as a central order and trend platform at the MMC Mitteldeutsches Mode Center in Schkeuditz near Leipzig. The name “QUARTER” refers to the industry’s quarter-based ordering cycles and also reflects the reliable rhythm of the event: twice a year – in March for the spring season and in September for the autumn season – retailers, buyers, and industry professionals come together to plan the upcoming season with precision and place orders directly. The event is organized by Regtrade AG, which established the QUARTER series at the MMC and stands out for its clear B2B focus, efficient organization, and high level of brand transparency.

The trade fair combines three core segments. Shoetime showcases the full range of women’s, men’s, and children’s footwear – from timeless classics to seasonal highlights, including sustainable and vegan models as well as innovative materials and technologies. Bags focuses on handbags, backpacks, business bags, and travel luggage – from traditional leather goods to eco-friendly alternatives – making current design and functional trends tangible. The Orderdays provide a direct platform for business transactions: seasonal and early-bird orders are placed on-site, personal networking with manufacturers, brands, and distributors takes place on the show floor, and targeted B2B meetings establish reliable terms. Complementing the core program are trend zones, fashion shows, and “New Brands Live!” presentations – high-visibility formats that offer guidance without distracting from business.

Exhibitors are primarily from the footwear and leather goods industries – from brand manufacturers and wholesalers to specialized suppliers of materials and technologies. Visitors include representatives from retail and wholesale, chain store organizations, boutiques, and fast-growing online pure players. With around 370 brands, QUARTERshoetime & bags Orderdays delivers a highly specialized market overview: buyers compare collections, assess quality, coordinate delivery schedules, and close deals on the spot. The proximity to Leipzig – historically one of Germany’s most important trade fair cities – adds further appeal and reach to the location.

For those seeking to experience shoes, bags, and accessories in a professionally curated, clearly structured, and fully order-ready environment, the MMC in Schkeuditz offers the ideal stage. The fashion center impresses with its central location, excellent accessibility, and infrastructure that enables short distances, focused discussions, and swift decision-making – in short, the most efficient place where fashion meets business.
