We cordially invite you to the 2nd Kobe Shoes Fair.
We are pleased to announce that we will be holding this popular fair once again with even more exciting displays on offer.
We very much hope you will join us and experience the charms of Kobe's shoes for yourself.
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.
Last year, 10 companies from Kobe took part and showcased the quality of Kobe shoes to the people of Singapore. Although last year was our first attempt, we garnered high praise, with some of our products already being sold in stores in Singapore.
This time, 13 companies will be exhibiting, offering an even more extensive lineup of products that we hope will delight our Singapore guests. Please take this opportunity to come and experience the quality of Kobe shoes for yourself.
We look forward to meeting you all.
