More than 230 exhibitors will come together at Texfusion and The London Print Design Fair on 31 October and 1 November for an expanded edition of the trade fairs.

The number of exhibitors has doubled since last season, boosted by new partnerships with The Taiwan Textile Federation (TTF), Tengda Exhibition (China & Hong Kong) and the Synthetic and Rayon Textiles Export Promotion Council (India), organisers said.

To accommodate the increasing number of brands, the joint events will expand their exhibiting area at the Business Design Centre with a new space at gallery level.

The Print Design area will host 50 print studios, with British studios accounting for about 80% of the number. There will be also an increasing number of exhibitors from France, Italy, Switzerland and the US.

On the other side of the hall, Texfusion will showcase around 180 exhibitors across fashion fabrics, accessories, garments, technical fabrics and denim. Tengda Exhibition is bringing 40 Chinese and Hong Kong-based exhibitors, while the Taiwan Textile Federation will be presenting 10 companies specialising in technical fabrics, sustainability and denim.

The Synthetic and Rayon Textiles Export Promotion Council from India will host an Indian Pavilion with 40 manufacturers and products such as fashion fabrics, accessories and garments.
