Why this theme
Pitti Filati publishes professional visitor categories covering knitwear, textiles, design and buying. New visitors need company documentation; fair admission and off-site appointments are separate arrangements.

Priorities for this visit
- Many colour cards without a consistent comparison of composition and use.
- Clothing, yarn and district visits mixed without distinct objectives.
02 / Relevant conversations
Potential contacts
Yarn exhibitors matching the target product
