Taking place at Olympia London from 14-16 July 2024, responsible sourcing show, Source Fashion, continues to grow its presence of international exhibitors from new and emerging sourcing regions, including a strong representation from southeast Asia and Africa.
“We can already feel the buzz around the July show,” says Source Fashion’s Sourcing Director, Suzanne Ellingham. “We are proud to be able to bring the world’s best manufacturers and material providers under one roof. Feedback from visitors highlights the immense value they gain from meeting so many international manufacturers and suppliers face-to-face. We are delighted to offer such diversity, bringing together producers from around 30 countries and a huge variety of makers and manufacturers, each unique in specialising in different products and materials.
“Source Fashion offers an unmissable opportunity for the global fashion manufacturing community to meet decision-makers in buying, sourcing and procurement. For the buying community, we offer the reassurance of knowing that every exhibitor has been audited to ensure responsibility and transparency remains at the heart of their business model. It means that should you find a fantastic maker from a part of the world you aren’t working with, feel confident they will make it through your auditing and due diligence processes.”
Amid the highlights includes the show’s first Malaysian manufacturer, Kualesa Apparel, and Fairs and More Inc from the Philippines will return for a third time bringing a pavilion of Filipino manufacturers and makers. The show also welcomes its first-ever Nigerian manufacturer, Beyond Clothing, which is a leading garment factory specialising in crafting premium custom clothing, branded uniforms, corporate uniforms and sublimated T-shirts.
