From 15 to 17 September 2025, Texworld Apparel Sourcing Paris will return to the Paris-Le Bourget Exhibition Centre, gathering 1,300 textile and apparel manufacturers from over thirty countries. The 57th edition of the fair will once again underline its vital role as Europe’s major sourcing hub for fashion brands seeking both quality and diversity.
The upcoming show will span Halls 2, 3 and 4 and include Texworld Paris, Apparel Sourcing Paris, and the Avantex sector, which is dedicated to more efficient and sustainable fashion solutions. This September timing aligns with buyers’ planning cycles and reflects Messe Frankfurt France’s strategy to support global supply chain evolution.
Nearly 600 textile suppliers are expected at Texworld Paris alone, with leading representation from China, Türkiye, India, South Korea and Taiwan. New names, like Alok Industries of India, will bring premium cotton expertise to the Elite area, a curated zone for high-value suppliers. Denim will continue to be a strong feature, bridging Texworld and Apparel Sourcing in Hall 4 with about thirty international companies.
Launched earlier this year, the Initiatives zone at the entrance of Hall 4 will once again spotlight innovative craftsmanship and sustainable design. Highlights will include live knit and crochet demonstrations by LISAA Mode students and exceptional handmade embroideries from Pasari Textiles. Meanwhile, the Istanbul Chamber of Commerce and the China Textile Innovation Center will showcase regional expertise and cutting-edge concepts.
Apparel Sourcing Paris will grow to nearly 600 exhibitors, marking a significant rise from the previous edition, with more representation from Hong Kong, Pakistan and emerging regions such as Cambodia, Rwanda and Egypt. A dedicated Sustainable Pakistan pavilion will present ten socially responsible suppliers.
This year’s show will also amplify near sourcing options. Countries like Armenia and Kyrgyzstan will host national pavilions, joined by suppliers from Serbia, Romania, Portugal, Greece and Italy within the Near Sourcing Hub. Each displayed sample will be linked to the FourSource B2B digital platform, connecting visitors directly with manufacturers.
Avantex continues to expand its offer for sustainable solutions and forward-thinking services. Start-ups like NIL Textile, Materra and T-Fashion will present recyclable materials, innovative cotton farming models and AI-driven design tools. Three days of keynotes, panels and the new Bio Fashion Innovation Day will tackle critical topics such as circularity, natural fibres and new European regulations.
The fair will also host the final of the 8th Avantex Fashion Pitch, spotlighting start-ups that blend fashion, technology and sustainability. Entries close on 15 July.
Texworld Apparel Sourcing Paris 2025 is set to demonstrate how the industry is responding to changing global sourcing needs, with new suppliers, innovative materials and an emphasis on quality, flexibility and sustainability.
