Expo Riva Schuh & Gardabags - 2026 

104TH edition Expo Riva Schuh and Gardabags - with 40 countries represented among the exhibiting companies, and many visitors from over 100 different countries - is the most important international exhibition dedicated to volume footwear, leather goods and accessorises.

Expo Riva Schuh and Gardabags was born almost by chance at the end of the 1960s, thanks to a small group of Italian and German wholesalers and representatives led by Friedrich Karl Eichholz who gathered twice a year at Lake Garda for a 10-day business event. These meetings were held in hotels scattered around the lake, in close contact with the local community.
