Running for over two decades, the China Clothing Textiles and Accessories Expo is a proven business event, connecting buyers, designers and agents to manufacturers and suppliers of apparel, accessories, fabrics, footwear and home textiles.
Since its inception the China Clothing Textiles and Accessories Expo has consistently been a destination of choice for industry professionals researching and sourcing clothing, home textiles, accessories and fabrics from across China’s most-established and emerging markets.
This year visitors can enjoy an unparalleled opportunity to connect with more than 470 designers, manufacturers and wholesalers, of which almost one third are new to the event. Organiser Melissa Wortley, explained just how pleasing the uptake on stand bookings has been. “The booths have been sold out for some weeks now”, she said. “We’ve carefully curated the exhibitor list to ensure the showcase meets the unique needs of local retailers and designers. Buyers have the opportunity to connect with dozens of companies specialising in product categories across fashion, footwear, accessories, fabrics and home textiles”.
At the core of the expo is the facilitation of efficient and effective business interactions. Owners of start-ups will discover a plethora of opportunities to expand their ranges without spending time and money to visit China’s expansive manufacturing hubs. Equally, buyers and representatives from the most well-known online and brick and mortar retail stores can deepen connections with existing partners and explore new suppliers to keep their ranges fresh and exciting.
Attendees to previous events have valued the ample opportunities the expo afforded them. “We were able to connect with many suppliers and see their product first hand without wasting time and money sampling to try to find the right quality”, said one visitor. Another explained just how significant the event is to his business. “My business would not be where it is today without these Trade Fairs”, he said.
Adding additional value to time spent at the event is the Global Sourcing Expo. Showcasing another 400 companies from countries and regions, such as India, South Korea, Turkey, Taiwan and South Africa, the Global Sourcing Expo will be held right next door and visitors will be able to pass seamlessly between the two.
This year’s education program is tailored to the diverse needs of industry visitors and delves into crucial topics affecting the fashion industry today, such as waste, human rights and technology. By adding a seminar ticket to their free registration, attendees can gain valuable insights into the latest industry trends, consumer preferences, and market dynamics, equipping them with the necessary tools to make informed business decisions. Simply book sessions when you register.
The China Clothing Textiles and Accessories Expo will be held at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre from Tue 21 to Thu 23 November 2023, open from 10am daily.
