We cordially invite you to the inaugural 'Kobe Shoes Fair' and sincerely hope that you will be able to attend.
Kobe is a vibrant port city located in the Hyogo Prefecture of Japan. Established in the 19th century, it quickly grew into a bustling international trade hub after the opening of Japan's ports in 1859. The city is renowned for its beautiful waterfront, surrounded by mountains, and its unique blend of Western and Japanese cultures.
The city boasts a rich cultural heritage influenced by various foreign communities, particularly from Europe and America, reflected in its architecture, cuisine, and lifestyle. Kobe is also celebrated for its high-quality footwear, known as "Kobe Shoes."
The craftsmanship of Kobe Shoes dates back to the late 19th century, when Western styles began influencing Japanese fashion. Skilled artisans adopted traditional techniques to create stylish footwear characterized by attention to detail, quality materials, and comfort. Today, these shoes are popular in Japan and internationally, representing a perfect fusion of style and quality.
We are excited to announce that ten renowned shoemakers from Kobe will be visiting Singapore to host the inaugural "Kobe Shoes Fair," marking the first-ever business matching event in Southeast Asia.
We look forward to meeting you all.
