Fashion is the relationship between Apulia and the world

Daniele Del genio - Presidente CNA Puglia

Alessandro Delli Noci - Councillor for Economic Development - Apulia Region

The fashion industry in Apulia holds a most prominent position, on the one hand because of the process and product innovations that have been taking place in recent years, and on the other because of the excellence of the workers who design models, cut, sew and embroider with the creativity typical of Italy and the craftsmanship born and bred in Apulia over centuries of tradition.

Fashion, declined in the acronym Tac, textile, clothing and footwear, is in fact one of the major traditional economic sectors in Apulia, a sector that constitutes an important presence in the Apulian economy, especially due to the breadth of its economic production that shows, in 2022, the presence of 3,665 active enterprises in the region and 34,463 employees.

In light of all this, CNA's initiative is not just a good idea, it is a project that we hope will be structured in the territory to promote and give visibility to our excellence, strengthening the network of Apulian companies and artisans and creating new ideas and suggestions to weave relationships and collaborations in the rest of Italy and abroad.
