Just ahead of the Paris Olympics, international textile and apparel manufacturers will gather in Paris from 1st-3rd July for the Texworld and Apparel Sourcing fairs, hosted at the Porte de Versailles. These events will feature a combined total of 1,154 companies.
Apparel Sourcing will present nearly 530 exhibitors, closely matching the approximately 570 exhibitors of Texworld, the textile and materials fair. Additionally, the Denim zone will showcase around 30 exhibitors. A highlight of this year’s event is the debut of Yarn Expo, a dedicated space for yarns and fibres. Yarn Expo will feature productions from China, India, Pakistan, and Taiwan.
“This year, Apparel Sourcing welcomes 30 Chinese manufacturers, showcasing their own brands or producing white-label goods for European distributors. These exhibitors will be identified by a Chinese Brands Gallery logo,” the organizer noted.
The Avantex space, dedicated to innovation, will introduce a Designer Hub for meetings between designers and buyers, and a ReSources zone focused on sustainable innovation. The Near Sourcing Hub will offer proximity production solutions, featuring around 20 companies from Portugal, Turkey, and Serbia.
