Bangladesh textiles makers join Apparel Sourcing Paris


Bangladesh apparel manufacturers showcased their products at the just-concluded five-day Apparel Sourcing Paris 2021 Texworld arranged with new innovative ideas to the world.

Texworld Paris normally brings together, twice a year in Paris, around 1500 exhibitors from the fashion industry. But with Covid-19 and travel restrictions, Messe Frankfurt France came up with innovative alternative solutions for the fashion industry.

The event was designed by Messe Frankfurt’s team to maintain a flow of business between the global sourcing players for fashion brands, from ready-to-wear to luxury goods, weavers and international manufacturers, for which it brings together a fine selection of various products and materials.

Le Showroom was the first fashion with touch and feel sourcing event in Paris in 2021. The showroom presented two main areas - A trend forum imagined by Art Directors with physical samples and a library displaying, fabric samples, garments and accessories from selected manufacturers.

Zaber & Zubair and Hoorain High Tech Fabrics participated in Le Showroom. They sent their physical samples to Paris where it was on display. Buyers visited the products and had live chat with manufacturers in Bangladesh and sent their inquiries. They displayed the products on the virtual showroom for showcasing for 6 months after the show.

CMO of Hoorain High Tech Fabrics, Hakim shared his thoughts about the fair and said, “It’s great step considering current situation! In fact it’s needed to have such kind of event as to be connected as keep business ongoing. We are strongly recommending Messe Frankfurt to allow vendor to send 100 fabrics (at least) considering season & trend, so that buyers can cover all the segments. However, we are thankful to Messe Frankfurt as they have us the scope to attend the fair. Wishing more success for Messe Frankfurt “

Anol, the representative of Zaber & Zubair said, ”We are satisfied with especially in terms of building new business connections through Texworld, Paris February 2021 physical fair. We have received a very positive feedback from many new fashion brands basically based on France.”
