Texworld Apparel Sourcing Paris is set to welcome over 1200 exhibitors from 25 countries at the Paris-Le-Bourget Exhibition Centre from 10-12 February 2025. The internationally renowned sourcing platform will showcase a diverse range of textiles and apparel, enabling fashion brands to shape their Spring-Summer 2026 collections with high-quality, competitively priced offerings.

Over the three-day event, international buyers will gain access to a comprehensive selection of manufacturers and suppliers, reinforcing Texworld Apparel Sourcing Paris as a central player in mid-range fashion sourcing. With the increasing need for diversified supply chains, this year’s event presents a unique opportunity to explore an extensive network of global suppliers.

Texworld Apparel Sourcing Paris will bring together major sourcing regions such as China, Turkey, India, Korea, Pakistan, and Taiwan. Additionally, alternative sourcing hubs will be prominently represented, including Malaysia, Singapore, the UK, Vietnam, and the Netherlands. Notably, Africa will have a strong presence, with companies from Ethiopia, Rwanda, Egypt, and Benin participating. South America is also making its mark, with Argentina’s Industrias Textiles Frione debuting at the show, offering premium wool fabrics produced through environmentally responsible processes.

Sustainability: A key focus

Sustainability is a key focus at this year’s event, with Messe Frankfurt leading initiatives that promote ecological and socially responsible textile production. The new ‘Initiatives’ zone at the entrance to Hall 4 will highlight innovative, sustainable solutions from selected exhibitors. This space will also host the China Textile Information Centre’s trend forum and the Texpertise Econogy Hub, which showcases Messe Frankfurt’s commitment to sustainability in the textile industry.

A major highlight of this initiative is the Econogy Tours, guided sessions designed to introduce visitors to certified companies that are driving sustainable change in fashion. These tours, led by industry specialists, will take place on 10 February (12:30 pm - 1:30 pm) and 11 February (10:00 am - 11:00 am), with sign-ups available at the Econogy Hub counter.
