Texworld and Apparel Sourcing Paris will return from 15–17 September 2025, occupying Halls 2, 3, and 4 of the Paris-Le Bourget Exhibition Centre. Organised by Messe Frankfurt France, the trade fair continues to affirm its status as a major hub for sourcing in the fashion industry, uniting global players across ready-to-wear and luxury sectors.

Following the successful February edition, the upcoming show will again feature dedicated sectors Avantex and Leatherworld, which focus on innovation and leather respectively. Between 1200 and 1300 exhibitors are expected to show, representing major textile-producing nations including China, India, Türkiye, South Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. Their continued participation underscores the importance of the European market in a landscape shaped by ongoing US-China trade tensions.

This edition will also see increased engagement from Central and Eastern European manufacturers. Countries such as Armenia, Kyrgyzstan, and Ukraine will present strong delegations, reflecting growing interest in their technical expertise and high-quality production capabilities.

Organised by product universe, the show aims to enhance the visitor experience by aligning raw materials with finished garments. Hall 2 will host Avantex, trend forums, and conferences. Meanwhile, Leatherworld in Hall 4 will be situated near the Denim zone, linking Apparel Sourcing and Texworld to streamline material sourcing.

The Initiatives by Texworld zone at the Hall 4 entrance will spotlight country-specific craftsmanship, such as Turkish weaving excellence and Indian embroidery. These areas offer visitors curated insights into traditional and cutting-edge techniques alike.

Sustainability and circularity will be key themes at Avantex. The space will present the results of the Herewear European project led by TCBL, which explores the viability of localised, bio-based textile supply chains within Europe. Attendees can expect keynotes, roundtables, workshops, and exhibitions tackling sustainable innovation.

The final of the 8th Avantex Fashion Pitch will also take place during the show. In collaboration with IFA Paris and the Texpertise Network, the pitch will showcase forward-thinking fashion startups to a panel of international industry experts and investors.

Texworld Paris, Apparel Sourcing, Avantex, and Leatherworld are all free to attend for fashion professionals and are co-located to provide a comprehensive sourcing experience in a single venue.
