This year celebrates 21 years of the Asia Pacific Leather Fair which was inaugurated in Hong Kong to serve the region's growing leather sector. Since that time, Asia has become the hub of shoe and leather manufacture for the world and APLF has developed to become the largest and most important leather exhibition in the region as well as one of the most important leather events in the world. Today APLF is recognised as the annual meeting place for the global leather industry. Here you can see the complete spectrum of the leather industry - from hides and skins through shoe and leathermaking technology to finished footwear, apparel, fashion accessories and leathergoods.

For many years APLF has comprised two distinct parts: Raw Materials and Manufacturing and Fashion and Finished Products.
