In December 2021, we joined the GAPSHOES Fair in Gaziantep to connect with buyers, distributors, and industry professionals across Turkey and neighboring markets. Hosted at Gaziantep Ortadoğu Fuar Merkezi, GAPSHOES brings together the footwear ecosystem—shoes, slippers, and related sub-industry suppliers—under one roof, creating a focused B2B environment for sourcing, partnership building, and new season planning.
Why GAPSHOES 2021 Matters for the Footwear Industry
GAPSHOES is a practical meeting point where decisions happen fast: product selection, private label discussions, sampling, and order planning. With the event schedule running December 6–9, 2021, the fair provides a timely window to align collections, production capabilities, and delivery targets with market demand.
What We’re Focusing on at the Fair
Our goal at the 2021 Gaziantep GAPSHOES Fair is simple: present solutions that help partners compete on quality, speed, and consistency. Throughout the fair, we are highlighting:
-
Reliable production & quality standards for repeatable output
-
Material and component options that support durability and comfort
-
Cost-performance balance for large-scale orders
-
Flexible cooperation models, including B2B supply and project-based production
This approach supports brands and wholesalers looking to strengthen their assortment without compromising on lead time or product stability.
Key Trends We’re Seeing on the Show Floor
Even in a highly competitive category like footwear, a few themes stand out. Buyers increasingly ask for products that combine comfort, long-wear materials, and clean finishing—while also expecting suppliers to communicate clearly on technical details such as sizing consistency, outsole performance, and packaging readiness. We also see more demand for “ready-to-scale” collections: styles that can move quickly from sampling to volume production with minimal revisions.
Let’s Meet in Gaziantep
If you are visiting GAPSHOES 2021 and want to discuss supply, distribution, or collaboration opportunities, we would be glad to connect. A short meeting is often enough to clarify needs, share product direction, and map next steps—whether you are developing a new collection or expanding an existing range.
Contact us during the fair to schedule a meeting and receive a tailored proposal based on your target market, price segment, and order volumes.
