The three-day Texworld Apparel Sourcing Paris event will allow buyers access to the best in global sourcing to design and build fashion brands’ Spring-Summer 2026 collections.

Messe Frankfurt France says encouraging booking levels already suggests “a particularly active session”.

The return of Texworld and Apparel Sourcing to the Paris-Le Bourget exhibition centre will provide an opportunity to develop the layout of sectors and services.

Some of the sectors from the two shows will be brought together to create new synergies and to offer a women’s wardrobe in Hall 4, and a large area devoted to outdoor-sportswear-casualwear in Hall 3. All the services, the trends forum, the restaurants and the Agora, where conferences and round tables are held, will all be regrouped in Hall 2. This new organisation will enhance the coherence of the offer and provide new solutions for buyers’ sourcing work.

Messe Frankfurt says like every edition, the major sourcing nations for fabrics, materials, accessories and finished garments products will be represented: first and foremost China with the largest number of exhibitors and Türkiye will have a national pavilion supported by the Istanbul Chamber of Commerce (ITO). The show will also feature India, Korea, Indonesia, Pakistan, Thailand and Bangladesh.

Texworld is renewing the experiment launched in July on yarn sourcing with the Yarn Expo pavilion, valorising the upstream sector and the know-how of leading
spinning companies. Talks at the show will be centred around sustainability-related initiatives in the textile sector.
