EVENTBRITE TITLE: LLF2026: The 9th Lagos Leather Fair – Beyond The Hide
ABOUT THE EVENT

Welcome to the 9th edition of the Lagos Leather Fair (LLF2026)—Africa’s premier platform dedicated to the leather value chain.

For nearly a decade, the Lagos Leather Fair has been more than just an exhibition; it has been a movement. We have bridged gaps, empowered artisans, and turned the spotlight on the immense, untapped potential of the African leather ecosystem.

This year, our theme is “BEYOND THE HIDE: Scaling Value. Building Industry. Driving Growth.” We are shifting the narrative from viewing leather merely as a raw material to treating it as a comprehensive, high-value industrial powerhouse. Join us as we build the infrastructure, partnerships, and systems needed to compete globally and sustain long-term industry prosperity.
