Sourcing Expo and Footwear and Leather Show will be held in Australia, from November 20 to 22, 2018. Registrations for the two shows are 20 per cent higher than they were last year.
More than 4000 trade visitors are expected at the show which will bring together 700 textile, apparel and footwear manufacturers and agents from 16 countries. Sourcing Expo attracts sourcing managers for Australia’s large fashion retailers, niche fashion brands, online outlets and designers. It allows buyers to meet with more reputable suppliers than they could physically visit on an overseas buying trip. The trade-only event will showcase a full spectrum of product and service offerings from off-the-shelf clothing through to made-to-order pieces, fabric and functional textiles. Exhibitors are drawn from India, China, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Hong Kong, Fiji, Indonesia, Vietnam, South Africa, Taiwan, Turkey, Australia, South Korea, Malaysia and Singapore.
India’s Council for Leather Exports will represent the growing leather industry in India and showcase the quality of the nation’s products at Footwear and Leather Show. This show is expected to provide a novel and excellent platform for Indian companies to showcase their products to Australian buyers.
Australia’s geographic location means extensive travel is usually required to explore international supply and manufacturing options. These two events will bring everything together under one roof.
