The 2027 textile trade show calendar: 60+ shows across 13 countries, organised by quarter, with dates checked on each organiser’s website and direct links. Where 2027 dates are not out yet, we show the usual month.
Next major fair
Sourcing has moved online but fairs have not become obsolete. They have become more selective. The brands attending today are serious buyers, not researchers. If your factory relationship started at a fair, it usually started better than one that started with a cold email.
Touch fabric before you commit to it
No sample swatch or screen can replace holding the finished material, and fairs let you compare dozens of mills in one room.
Factories compete for your attention
At a fair they come to you, making it far easier to evaluate options than cold-emailing 30 factories and managing the inbox.
Trends move two seasons ahead of retail
What you see at Premiere Vision in September is what your competitors will be selling in 18 months.
Portuguese factories exhibit internationally
Factories from our group exhibit at Premiere Vision, Munich Fabric Start and Intertex Portugal. You can meet them at any of these events.
These are the shows with the highest density of serious manufacturers and buyers. If you are only attending two or three fairs in 2027, start here.
The world’s leading trade fair for home and contract textiles, but increasingly relevant for apparel brands looking at technical and functional fabric categories. 3,000+ exhibitors from 60+ countries. The scale makes it worth attending even if home textiles are not your primary focus.
The premier sourcing platform for the European fashion industry, running twice yearly. Includes The Source (garment manufacturing), Bluezone (denim) and Keyhouse (creative and trend). Factories from our Portuguese group exhibit here regularly, making it one of the easiest places to meet them outside Portugal.
The reference event for fashion industry professionals, covering fabrics, accessories, leather, manufacturing, design and yarn in one venue. The September edition draws European and international buyers sourcing for the following spring. Portuguese fabric suppliers and garment factories from our group exhibit here annually.
Texworld runs alongside Apparel Sourcing Paris. Together they form one of Europe’s largest apparel and fabric sourcing events. Particularly strong for wovens, prints and sustainable materials. Runs alongside Premiere Vision (in January 2027 the two overlap on 26 and 27 January), so most buyers plan one Paris trip and visit both shows back to back.
The benchmark event for menswear. Pitti is less about sourcing fabric and more about brand positioning, emerging designer discovery and trend forecasting for menswear. If you are a menswear brand, attend Pitti for the market intelligence even if you don’t source there directly. Portuguese brands regularly debut at Pitti.
The main trade fair for the Portuguese textile sector, held annually at Exponor in Porto, close to the northern factory cluster. Factories from Porto, Guimarães, Barcelos and Braga exhibit here. If you want to meet Portuguese manufacturers in person without travelling to Munich or Paris, Intertex is the most efficient route.

PT11–13 May 2027 · Exponor, Porto
The flagship annual fair for the Portuguese textile sector. Factories from Braga, Porto, Guimarães, Barcelos and Vila Nova de Famalicão exhibit here. The best single event for meeting Portuguese manufacturers in person, especially for fabric, knitwear and garment production.
PT2027 dates TBA · Porto
Porto’s fabric fair, relaunched in 2025 as MOD’Unica by the Portuguese textile association ATP. Focused on wovens, knitwear and accessories, with exhibitors from Portugal and other European textile countries. The last edition ran in February 2025 at Exponor; the next edition has not been announced yet.
PTMarch and October 2027 (dates TBA) · Lisbon
Portugal’s official fashion week. Primarily a designer showcase rather than a sourcing event, but increasingly relevant for brands interested in Portuguese creative talent and brand-to-brand collaboration. Several factories from our group partner with Moda Lisboa designers as part of their marketing activity.
PTOccasional · Porto region
Periodic industry networking events and showrooms organised by Portuguese textile associations ATP and CITEVE. Accessible to verified fashion brands on request. Useful for meeting factory directors in smaller settings than a full trade fair floor, and for understanding the supply chain structure of northern Portugal.

Three things that separate brands who leave a fair with a real supplier from brands who leave with a bag full of brochures and no follow-up.
Showroom rail with finished samples
Factory reps at fairs talk to hundreds of people. If you can hand over a document, even a one-page brief with your product type, quantity range and target price, you will get a more useful conversation and a more accurate follow-up quote.
At Premiere Vision or Munich Fabric Start there are thousands of exhibitors. You can’t cover them. Research exhibitor lists beforehand, shortlist factories that match your category and region, and block 30-minute slots with the right people. Focused conversations are always better than quick passes.
Factory reps return from fairs to hundreds of business card piles. If you don’t email within 48 hours with a clear brief and a specific question, you will not get a reply for weeks. The follow-up email is more important than the conversation at the booth.

Yes, several factories from our group exhibit at Premiere Vision Paris, Munich Fabric Start and Intertex Portugal. If you are attending one of these fairs and want an introduction to specific factories who will be exhibiting, get in contact before the fair and we can arrange it.
It depends on where you are in the process. If you are at the research stage, building your shortlist and testing what is possible in different categories, then yes, fairs compress weeks of cold emails into two days. If you already have a specific brief and product in mind, a direct connection to a factory from our group is usually faster and more targeted than attending a show.
ITF Intertex Portugal, at Exponor in Porto (11 to 13 May 2027), is the most concentrated Portuguese event. Internationally, factories from our group are well represented at Premiere Vision Paris and Munich Fabric Start. Both show a meaningful cluster of Portuguese fabric suppliers and garment manufacturers. If you are in Germany or central Europe, Munich Fabric Start is the most efficient first visit to meet them.
Both run in Paris twice a year, in late January and in September, and many buyers attend both. In January 2027 they overlap: Texworld runs 25 to 27 January and Premiere Vision 26 to 28 January. Premiere Vision is more curated, with a higher entry bar for exhibitors, stronger positioning around premium and sustainable materials, and better representation for luxury and mid-market fashion. Texworld / Apparel Sourcing Paris covers more volume-oriented sourcing with a broader range of price points and geographies. For a brand starting out, Texworld is less intimidating. For established brands making quality-focused decisions, Premiere Vision is the benchmark.
Every date on this page was checked on the organiser’s official website on 29 September 2026. Where an organiser has not announced its 2027 dates yet, we show “Dates TBA” with the month the fair usually runs, and we add the dates as they are published. Confirm at the official show website before booking travel.
We are a group of factories based in Portugal, not a sourcing agency. We review your brief, place it with the factory in our group built for it, and stay involved through sampling, production and delivery. You agree terms with us and the factory, and you can talk to either of us at any point. No commission on production: our fee is quoted in writing before any work starts.
