With more than 1600 lines and a reputation as “the buying show” where retailers purchase their inventories for the coming season, The Atlanta Shoe Market has become the largest and most important shoe and accessory show in America and among the 10 largest shoe and accessory shows in the world. The Atlanta Shoe Market is the logical choice for shoe retailers looking to narrow their travels to the most essential industry shows.

The Atlanta Shoe Market is held twice annually at the Cobb Galleria Convention Centre and Renaissance Waverly Hotel. The meeting is timed to coincide with the debut of the coming season’s footwear styles as well as accessories and handbags. Here is where you will meet with the vendors and buy the lines that will make you successful in your market for the fall and spring buying seasons.

In 1940, a group of salesmen that traveled the Carolinas met in Charlotte at the Hotel Charlotte and out of this meeting emerged the Men’s Apparel Club of the Carolinas, which is referred to by many of the old timers as “the Mac’s.”

Due to a gasoline shortage, prior to the War, the best solution was to have a focal point to hold shows so that both salesmen and retailers could get together to do business. Merchants could carpool in order to come to the shows. This was the beginning of the buying Markets sponsored by the Men’s Apparel Club of the Carolinas.
