Texworld for fabrics and trims, Apparel Sourcing for finished apparel and fashion accessories, complemented by the Avantex sector, offering a selection of innovative solutions for a more efficient and sustainable fashion industry, and Leatherworld, the platform dedicated to the leather industry, from raw materials to finished products.
Nearly thirty nations represented
Reflecting the diversity of the global market, a total of 26 countries will be represented in Paris over the three days: all the major sourcing nations, including China, India, Türkiye, Korea, Taiwan, Pakistan and Bangladesh, as well as Hong Kong, Thailand, Indonesia, Rwanda, South Africa, Ethiopia and the Netherlands, will be present.
On the textile side, Texworld’s offering will be structured around several major national pavilions. Turkish manufacturers, loyal to the show, will mostly be grouped under the banner of the Istanbul Chamber of Commerce (ITO). Korean manufacturers, led by the National Union of Textile Manufacturers (KOFOTI), also chose to present their know-how collectively, as did Indian embroiderers and weavers grouped around Texprocil, in charge of supporting the Indian cotton textile production, a strategic raw material for this country as it generates 12% of exports.
Taiwanese Eco-Textile, Denim Village and Focus on Leather
Several individual Taiwanese manufacturers, including Wisher, GrandeTex Development, Kiss Bride and embroiderer Ming Leurn, supported by the Taiwan Textile Federation (TTF), will be showcasing ranges of sustainable fabrics bearing the Taiwan Eco-Textile label, whose properties are particularly well-suited to activewear technical garments.
The Denim Village, covering almost 1,000 m2 in the central part of Hall 7.3, will feature some 30 international exhibitors offering a complete range of products, from raw material to finished product. In the center, the Highlight Denim area will feature a selection of products staged by Louis Gérin and Grégory Lamaud, the artistic directors of Texworld Apparel Sourcing Paris, to make it easier for visitors to find their way around.
Leather market trends unveiled at Leatherworld
Leather specialists will also be highly visible in the central part of Hall 7.3, where around twenty exhibitors from South Africa, Pakistan, China, Taiwan and Italy will occupy the 500 m2 reserved for the Leatherworld sector. At the heart of this space, the Leather Trend – a new feature for 2024 – will bring together the Italian manufacturers present at the show. Conceived in partnership with specialized publisher Edizioni AF and the Arsutoria School design center, it will enable visitors to discover current trends in the leather markets through the presentation, on four separate podiums, of the various components involved in the manufacture of shoes and bags.
