Addvance Studio at Première Vision Paris September 2026

This is our 5th edition at Première Vision Paris and we are returning with a clear purpose: to connect with established fashion brands that are serious about footwear manufacturing in Europe.

Our booth is in the Leather, Bags, Shoes & Leatherwear section  Hall 3, Booth 3G78, which is exactly where brands looking for footwear manufacturing partners will be spending their time. If you are evaluating production options, reassessing your supply chain or developing a new footwear collection, we want to talk.

 

What Première Vision Paris is and why it matters

Première Vision Paris is one of the most significant trade fairs in the global fashion industry. It brings together materials suppliers, manufacturers, designers and brands from across the world, with a focus on quality, innovation and the future direction of fashion production.

For brands, it is one of the most efficient places to evaluate manufacturing partners in person, to see materials, ask direct questions and begin the kind of conversations that lead to real production partnerships. The September edition sits at a critical point in the development calendar, making it the right moment to confirm manufacturing relationships for upcoming collections.

What to expect from the Innovation & Technology Cycle

The September 2025 edition features the second installment of the Innovation & Technology Cycle  a dedicated programme exploring where materials, manufacturing and technology are heading. For brands thinking about sustainability, traceability, new material categories and production innovation, this is a relevant thread running through the fair.

At Addvance Studio, these are conversations we are already having with our brand partners, around material sourcing transparency, European compliance readiness and how manufacturing partnerships can support more responsible collection development. The fair is a good moment to continue them.

Who should come and visit us

If you are an established fashion brand evaluating footwear manufacturing options in Europe, Booth 3G78 is worth a visit. Specifically, we are looking to connect with:

• Brands developing private label footwear collections who need a technically capable manufacturing partner in Portugal.
• Brands currently sourcing outside Europe who are reassessing their supply chain for quality, compliance or proximity reasons.
• Creative directors and product teams building new footwear categories and looking for a manufacturer who can contribute technically from the development stage.
• Buying and sourcing teams with specific production requirements who want to understand what Portuguese manufacturing can deliver.

 

If any of those descriptions fit your situation, come and find us.

 

 

What Addvance Studio brings to the table as a manufacturer

Addvance Studio is a footwear manufacturer based in Felgueiras, northern Portugal the centre of the Portuguese shoe manufacturing industry. We work with established fashion brands as development and production partners, not simply as a factory that receives a technical file and returns finished goods.

That distinction matters. The brands that get the most from working with us are those that want a manufacturer genuinely involved in the development process contributing to material selection, construction decisions, sample quality and production consistency from the earliest stages of a project.

We offer private label footwear development and production across a range of constructions and categories, with access to the full Felgueiras supplier ecosystem materials, components, tanneries and finishing specialists all within close proximity.

Why Portugal and Felgueiras are the right answer for European footwear production

Portugal has built one of the strongest footwear manufacturing ecosystems in Europe over decades of specialization and technical investment. The Felgueiras cluster is where that expertise is most concentrated, a complete production ecosystem with the supplier relationships, workforce knowledge and manufacturing infrastructure to support serious collections.

For established brands selling into European markets, manufacturing in Portugal means manufacturing inside the EU, with the compliance alignment, geographic proximity and supply chain traceability that brings. It also means working with a manufacturing partner whose quality standards have been tested by some of the most demanding brands in the world.

The full cost picture development efficiency, logistics, quality consistency and lead times, makes Portuguese manufacturing significantly more competitive than unit price comparison alone suggests.

How to prepare for a productive meeting at the fair

The most productive conversations at Première Vision happen when both sides come prepared. If you are planning to visit Booth 3G78, it helps to have a clear sense of what you are looking for whether that is a specific collection brief, a production question, a material interest or a broader conversation about manufacturing strategy.

If you are already registered on the Première Vision website, you can book a meeting with us directly through the PV platform before the fair. It is the easiest way to secure a dedicated time slot and make sure the right people are available on both sides. You can also contact us directly and we will coordinate from there.
