Accessories such as bags, travel luggage and leather goods connect several parts of the fashion ecosystem, from material sourcing and design to manufacturing and retail. Changing consumer expectations, evolving retail strategies and new design directions are influencing how these products are developed and marketed.

Trade fairs dedicated to specific product segments offer an opportunity to observe how companies respond to these developments. They also provide a setting where brands, suppliers and buyers can exchange insights on trends, materials and market dynamics.

Edition 164 of the international leather goods fair Ilm will take place from 29 to 31 August 2026 in Offenbach am Main in Germany. The event brings together brands, manufacturers, designers and retailers specialising in leather goods, bags, travel luggage and accessories.

Alongside product presentations, the programme includes industry talks addressing topics such as retail strategies, consumer behaviour, artificial intelligence in marketing and upcoming design directions for bags and accessories. The fair also provides opportunities for professional exchange between suppliers, designers and international buyers working in the accessories market.
