Sharply increasing its offer this year at Texworld Paris, an international trade show for fashion, which takes place from 11-14 February, Turkey will present about a hundred exhibitors, with a selection of finely made knits, cotton, embroidery and lace.

Thanks to wider booths, the Turkish offer will spread over more than 2,300 square metres, organisers report. “Turkey has numerous advantages: an experienced creative scene, a major industrial base and most of all an in-depth knowledge of the customs and attitudes of its European neighbours. Turkey is, therefore, an absolute must for many companies, and the country maintains a key position when it comes to textile imports in Europe (second in European textile imports in 2017). Also, the total exports of textiles and raw materials in Turkey increased by 8% in the first half of 2018,” they say.
