Ideal time and place for trade in Southern China

Intertextile Pavilion, 9 – 11 July 2009 at the Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Centre in Shenzhen, is a special event that allows textile manufacturers a direct opportunity to meet thousands of garment producers in the industry-rich region of Southern China.

The show is a key feature of the Shenzhen International Brand Clothing & Accessories Fair and allows exhibitors to meet many quality buyers. In 2008, the Intertextile Pavilion attracted 11,000 trade buyers – nearly a 70% rise over 2007. Much of this rise was attributed to buyers from China and across Asia. The show featured 220 suppliers in 8,500 sqm of trade space.

Fashion season in southern China

Intertextile Pavilion takes place during one of the region’s hottest fashion seasons. In addition to the International Brand Clothing & Accessories Fair, which includes the largest fashion show in Asia, the show takes place during the same week as Hong Kong Fashion Week, one hour to the south of Shenzhen.

Together these events bring top designers and brands from around the world to the region to present thousands of new garments and designs. As the only textile show during these events, Intertextile Pavilion is pivotal for buyers hoping to source new materials during the fashion season.

2008 REPORT

More than 11,000 trade buyers attended the Intertextile Pavilion at Shenzhen - nearly a 70% rise over 2007. The show, a feature of the Shenzhen International Apparel Fair, ran 10 -12 July 2008 at the Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Centre and featured 230 suppliers in 8,500 sqm of trade space.

Exhibitors, including many ladieswear producers from around Asia, said the fair was better than they expected for breaking into the Chinese market. "We organised fabric wholesalers from Japan for this because the domestic market in Japan has reached its capacity. This event attracts big brands from China and designers from Hong Kong who are looking for high-quality and expensive fabrics," said Ms Feng Xiao, of Tokyo Textile Fabrics Wholesaler's Association, Japan, which focuses on ladieswear. "Just like in previous years, we achieved good feedback from the show."

"Intertextile Shenzhen Pavilion helps us reach the Chinese and Hong Kong markets. Many Chinese brands and retailers came to our stand and they are willing to spend more on high-quality products. For sure, we will join again next year," said Mr Cody Choi, Division Director of Shinhwa Global Textile, Korea, a fabric mill for ladieswear fabrics.

Other exhibitors were pleased with the show's internationality. "This is our first time to exhibit at the Intertextile Pavilion and the result is beyond our expectations," said Mr Toshiro Isogai, General Manager of Takisada-Osaka, Japan. "I have reached lots of manufacturers or trading companies that can export our products to the U.S., Europe or Australia. We are very happy with the result and hope to come back next year."

The show has built a reputation as a convenient and important sourcing destination for trade buyers visiting Hong Kong Fashion Week or from factories in Guangdong - China's garment manufacturing heart.
