The event, which is the largest gathering of leather enthusiasts in Africa, is set to take place between Saturday, 17th and Sunday, 18th of June, 2023, at the Balmoral Convention Center, Victoria Island, Lagos.
The Lagos Leather Fair is an annual event that brings together designers, manufacturers, suppliers, and consumers of leather products from all over the world. The event provides a platform for participants to showcase their products, network with industry professionals, and learn about the latest trends and innovations in the leather industry.
The LLF2023, themed Staying Ahead – Creativity | Collaboration | Commitment aims to make a lasting impact through the introduction of the LLF Accelerator Programme, an innovative mentoring and development initiative.
