The London Textile Fair London

The London Textile Fair is the leading industry event for textile professionals and impressively reflects the innovative strength of London’s textile sector. As the most important trade fair for the British textile and fashion industry, it brings together international industry representatives twice a year—in January and September—at the renowned Business Design Centre in the heart of London. Organized by Textile Events, the fair is specifically aimed at trade visitors from the fields of textile production, garment manufacturing, and fashion design.

With around 500 exhibitors, "The London Textile Fair" offers a comprehensive overview of all relevant segments of the industry. The range extends from high-quality fashion fabrics such as cotton, wool, silk, and linen to innovative, technical, and sustainable materials. The offer is further complemented by accessories, buttons, ribbons, exclusive print designs, and vintage archives. Since 2024, there has also been a dedicated area for international garment manufacturers, with a special focus on sportswear and swimwear. The fair also features up-to-date trend forums and a sophisticated seminar programme curated by renowned trend agencies such as Trendhub/BDA London. Here, visitors gain insights into colour trends, material innovations, and macro trends such as “The Big Picture” and “Future Colour”. Special attention is given to sustainability: in a dedicated section, initiatives such as the Sustainable Apparel Coalition present their work, promoting environmentally and socially responsible sourcing.

A wide range of fabrics and products are showcased, including cotton, shirting fabrics, jersey, silk, outerwear, rainwear, eco-friendly and coated textiles, printed fabrics, wool, worsted, linen, tweed, fantasy fabrics, flannel, synthetics, technical textiles, linings, as well as various labels, hang tags, packaging, and personalised accessories. In addition, collections from leading international manufacturers of womenswear, menswear, childrenswear, and accessories are also on display.

The exhibitors at "The London Textile Fair" represent all areas of the textile value chain—from fabric producers and accessory suppliers to design studios and specialised manufacturing partners. The fair is primarily targeted at buyers, designers, traders, and manufacturers seeking new materials, exclusive designs, and innovative production solutions. As such, "The London Textile Fair" is not only the largest textile B2B platform in the UK but also a key sourcing hub for the UK and Europe, offering an efficient overview of trends and suppliers under one roof.

The combination of a central location, an inspiring product portfolio, and a high-calibre professional programme makes "The London Textile Fair" a must-attend event for anyone looking to set new impulses in the international textile business. The centrally located Business Design Centre, with its modern infrastructure and historical ambience, provides the perfect setting to experience the creative flair of London as a fashion capital up close.
