Texworld Apparel Sourcing Paris 2027 Marks 30 Years with Two-Hall Layout

09 November 2026: Texworld Apparel Sourcing Paris 2027 will mark the show’s 30th anniversary from 25-27 January 2027 at the Paris-Le-Bourget Exhibition Centre. Messe Frankfurt France expects more than 1,000 international exhibitors across a redesigned layout in Halls 3 and 4, which the organiser says will make the fabric and garment fair easier to navigate.

The show runs as two connected areas. Texworld covers fabrics and raw materials, while Apparel Sourcing covers finished garments and accessories. Entry is free for visitors who present professional credentials, according to the organiser.

How will the Texworld Apparel Sourcing Paris 2027 layout work?

The Texworld Apparel Sourcing Paris 2027 layout spreads networking areas, presentations, talks, trend showcases, services and catering across both halls. Messe Frankfurt France says the aim is to draw buyers through the whole show and build stronger links between fabric suppliers and garment makers. The official show website lists Halls 3 and 4 at Paris-Le Bourget for the January dates.

Why the EU-India trade deal matters for Indian exhibitors

Messe Frankfurt France says it expects strong interest from Indian manufacturers. The organiser links that interest to the EU-India free trade agreement, which it says was signed in January 2026, is going through ratification and is expected to come into force in 2027. Once in force, the deal would remove European customs duties of up to 12% on Indian textiles and garments, depending on the product, the organiser says.

Spring-Summer 2028 trends and the Texpertise Agora

Trend forums for Spring-Summer 2028 collections will appear in both halls from the January edition. Artistic directors Louis Gérin and Gregory Lamaud are designing them to match the products in each hall. In Hall 4, the Texpertise Agora will host conferences, debates and round tables with industry professionals.

Sustainability routes and small-batch sourcing

Messe Frankfurt’s Texpertise Econogy programme returns with three tools:

• Econogy Finder identifies suppliers of sustainably produced textiles.
• Econogy Talks bring experts together at the Texpertise Agora.
• Econogy Tour offers a guided visit to selected manufacturers with sustainable solutions.

The Small Quantities Itinerary will point brands and designers to manufacturers that handle small batches in both textiles and garment making. Two Initiatives areas, one at the entrance of each hall, will show projects led by companies, schools and countries.
