Texworld Evolution Paris - February 6 - 8 - welcomes international buyers

From 6 to 8 February 2023, Texworld Evolution Paris will once again take place at the Paris-Le-Bourget exhibition center, playing host to a total of 750 exhibitors from some 20 countries.

The international fair is billed as one of the main sourcing fairs for the textiles and fashion industry will feature brands ranging from ready-to-wear to luxury textiles.

Organisers at Messe Frankfurt say they expect another successful show as the level of visitor pre-registrations have suggested a real enthusiasm for this edition.

In the Texworld Paris section, there will be 460 exhibitors.  Chinese participants return with 220 compaies, taking the lead again among the exhibitors. They are followed by Turkish manufacturers, with 122 companies, Koreans (43 companies) and Indians (45 companies), along with Japanese and Indonesian manufacturers.




In the Apparel Sourcing Paris section, which focuses on finished products, there are 270 companies, including 210 Chinese manufacturers whose participation is supported by the CCPIT TEX (Council for the Promotion of International Trade), a loyal partner of the Texworld Evolution Paris fair.

The African continent, which confirms its aim to strengthen its role in global sourcing, will also be represented with companies from Ethiopia and, for the first time, Ghana, with the support of the ITC (International Trade Center) and the German cooperation association GIZ (Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit).

Visitors from around the globe are treated to a programme of activities and pathways for orientation, with several round tables and conferences on offer. They will open the debates on current themes, such as the contributions of Web3 in the fashion and clothing industry, second-hand markets, or ways to make a company sustainable without compromising its competitiveness. 

Other highlights will punctuate the three-day show with topical issues raised by sustainable fashion and recyclability, with, in particular, presentations by PhDs from the Bali Chair. A conference on the sourcing offer in Ghana will allow visitors to discover the industrial potential of this country.

One new addition this February is the launch of The Red Thread, a pathway which provide a link to all the exhibition's points of attraction. It will guide buyers from the entrance of the show to the Trends Forum and the Elite Forum – these two spaces created by the show's Art Directors showcase a selection of samples to imagine the spring-summer 2024 collections – through the Denim Village (20 exhibitors) and its Denim Trends Forum, the national pavilions and the Agora where the conferences will take place. 

This February edition also includes a revisited sustainable sourcing itinerary. This will bring together a hundred companies that have implemented CSR initiatives in an operational manner. 

Organisers say the number of Apparel Sourcing Paris exhibitors included in this itinerary has increased significantly compared to previous editions. This itinerary will be accompanied by the two other traditional itineraries, the small quantity itinerary (for small brands and capsule collections), and the handmade itinerary (for the finest handicraft).
