Intertextile Shenzhen Apparel Fabrics 2023

Intertextile Shenzhen Apparel Fabrics will be held from November 6th to 8th, 2023, at the Shenzhen World Exhibition and Convention Center.

The garment textile business is one of the most ready for taking chances in South China fashion center. Over 880 exhibitors and over 42,000 visitors attended the last edition; it is anticipated that there will be a significant rise in foreign involvement this year.

Shenzhen is the province that contributes the most to Guangdong, which is widely recognized as one of China major textile production regions. The Pearl River Delta is home to wholesale marketplaces, fabric markets, clothing processing facilities, and fabric production facilities—all of which are connected across the apparel value chain.

Also, Shenzhen Dalang Fashion Town, which is home to over 700 fashion businesses and approximately one-third of the past winners of the China Fashion Week Top Award, is a shining illustration of the growing trend of regional fashion.
