What's new at CAST for the 2026-II season

New VF Corporation Showroom (from September 2026)
From 1 September 2026, VF Corporation will open a brand-new showroom at CAST. Covering more than 600 m², the showroom will showcase an impressive brand portfolio including Timberland, Vans, Kipling, Eastpak and JanSport.

The realization of this new showroom has been made possible thanks to the commitment and flexibility of several long-standing CAST exhibitors (members of the CAST association). To create space for VF Corporation's new showroom, established exhibitors Anton Noijen, André Niesten and Jeroen van Scherrenburg agreed to relocate their showrooms. Their cooperation has played an important role in making this development possible.

Showroom relocations

• Antonio Due has moved from Showroom 376 to Showroom 055 (Level 0).

• A&A Niesten has moved from Showroom 231 to Showroom 266 (Level 1).

• Q-Fit has moved from Showroom 225 to Showroom 263 (Level 1).

Timberland temporarily relocated
Due to the construction of the new VF Corporation showroom, Timberland has temporarily moved to Showroom 125 (Level 0). From September onwards, Timberland will return to Level 1, where it will be part of the brand-new multi-brand VF Corporation showroom.

New in Showroom 241 – WONDERS

"Made with Love in Spain" perfectly reflects the brand's philosophy. Every pair of shoes is designed and handcrafted in Elche, Spain, a city with a rich tradition in shoemaking.

New in Showroom 116 – MARC O'POLO
From the upcoming season, Raymond Wiegerinck will represent MARC O'POLO. "Marc O'Polo footwear has already been sold through fashion retailers and the brand's own stores. As the footwear collection has grown significantly, the brand decided to appoint an agent to further expand its presence within the Benelux footwear retail market," says Raymond Wiegerinck.

Fixed Open Days
The first Fixed Open Day of the new season will take place on Monday, 10 August 2026. Throughout the season, several Fixed Open Days are organised, during which all CAST showrooms are open from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. These dates are easy to recognise in the calendar by the green dots.

New this season: in addition to the regular Mondays and Tuesdays, several Thursdays have also been added as Fixed Open Days. This gives you even more opportunities to discover the latest collections, meet suppliers and find inspiration.
