If you are on the hunt for the perfect fabric for your designs, seeing the samples in-person is the fastest way to find just what you are looking for. Coming up in the next few weeks there are quite a few great places to do so!
Milwaukee Popup Garment District – September 19th-20th in Milwaukee, WI. This event is organized by some of the same people who hosted the Chicago popup I exhibited at in May. With how great that show was, I’m sure this one will be good as well! Source fabrics and trims as well as service providers catering to indie designers.
>> I’ll be here!>> Sourcing at MAGIC NYC – September 22nd-24th in NYC, NY. As part of the bigger MAGIC wholesale show, the sourcing show brings together global factories, suppliers, and supply chain solutions. The NY show’s focus is on speed to market, small batches, and sustainable options. I’ll be attending this show! If you’re planning to go too, reply and let me know. I’d love to meet up and say hi while we’re there.
The Textile Show – September 24th-26th in Los Angeles, CA. My colleagues who attended the Nashville addition of this show said that the curated, intimate show made it so easy to connect with vendors and spend time at each booth. Plus, their daily seminars give you the chance to further your fashion knowledge and get your questions answered.
Los Angeles Fabric Show – September 25th-26th in Los Angeles, CA. This show features fabrics and more including both made in USA and globally sourced materials, trims, service providers, and production services. Plenty of low MOQ options to choose from!
Each of these shows are great opportunities to source new materials, pet fabrics, and learn more about fashion manufacturing. Grab a friend and plan your trip!
