With a Record Number of Leather Exhibitors, Inspiramais Is Coming Soon to São Paulo

The upcoming edition of Inspiramais will feature the highest number of leather exhibitors in the past ten years: 19 tanneries will showcase their latest developments on July 15 and 16 at the Pro Magno Events Center in São Paulo (SP). In addition to leather, the event will include the launch of thousands of other materials for fashion, furniture, and automotive collections, establishing Inspiramais as the starting point of the production chain for these sectors in Brazil and Latin America. Free registration at www.inspiramais.com.br.

Inspiramais is promoted by the Centre for the Brazilian Tanning Industry (CICB), the Brazilian Association of Companies of Components for Leather, Footwear and Manufactured Goods (Assintecal), the Brazilian Textile and Apparel Industry Association (Abit), the Brazilian Furniture Industry Association (Abimóvel), and the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (ApexBrasil). The event is part of sectoral projects led by ApexBrasil in partnership with these organisations: Brazilian Leather, Tex Brasil, Brazilian Furniture, and Brazilian Materials.

In addition to the commercial exhibition of materials for the industry — with leathers ranging from bovine to exotic (such as fish and python) — Inspiramais offers a robust programme filled with content, inspiration, and networking opportunities. The agenda includes lectures on trends and consumer movements across both days, curated exhibitions featuring standout materials (such as the Preview do Couro, which presents hides that anticipate upcoming fashion trends), and spaces dedicated to emerging talents, as well as innovative and sustainable projects.

This edition of Inspiramais is based on the theme Human, which sets the tone for the 2026_II season, with the word "hope" at its core. The theme reflects that in times of global crises and uncertainty about the future, hope emerges as a vital force — essential for reconnecting with what makes us human: our sense of community and our capacity for transformation. This feeling will be reflected at Inspiramais, through the choice of materials that favour comfort and movement, and through the emphasis on tactile and welcoming textures.
