Melbourne Set to Host 2024 China Clothing Textiles & Accessories Expo
Melbourne August 27, 2024 — Mark your calendars! The highly anticipated China Clothing Textiles & Accessories Expo is returning to Melbourne with a fresh, modern vibe.
From November 19 – 21, 2024, the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre will host Australia’s longest running sourcing exhibition for apparel, homewares, accessories and footwear. Over 520 suppliers from China’s leading and emerging manufacturing hubs will gather for three days to showcase their products and manufacturing capabilities to Australian businesses.
Following a bumper event in Sydney in June, where 90% of visitors discovered new suppliers, the expo is expected to attract more than 4,500 buyers, designers, and merchandise specialists from both large corporations and small businesses, all seeking to connect with top suppliers of apparel, accessories, fabrics, and home textiles.
Reflecting on the 2023 event, a trade visitor noted the value of face-to-face interactions, saying, “We connected with numerous suppliers and evaluated their products firsthand, saving both time and money on sampling.”
When asked whether he would recommend a visit to the exhibition, industry stalwart, Glen, who is responsible for sourcing for one of Australia’s largest apparel wholesalers, simply responded, “100%, yes”!
The China Clothing Textiles & Accessories Expo will be held alongside the Global Sourcing Expo AND the Footwear & Accessories Show at Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre from Tuesday 19 to 21 November.
Registration and entry to the expos is free. For more information, visit chinatextiles.com.au
