China and India Pair Up for Trade Show in Hong Kong
Visitors looking for sourcing resources from China and India will find them under one roof in Hong Kong this April when the China Sourcing Fair: Garments & Textiles and the India Sourcing Fair: Garments & Accessories will be held side-by-side at the AsiaWorld-Expo, located near the Hong Kong International Airport.
The April 27–30 show is organized by b-2-b media company Global Sources, which co-located the two shows for the first time last year. Show exhibitors include resources from mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and India.
“The launch of the Garments & Textiles Fair comes amid robust activity in China’s export sector, which is already shooting past pre-crisis levels,” said Tommy Wong, president of Global Sources Exhibitions. “China customs statistics showed clothing and textile exports had a27 percent year-on-year increase in January to July 2010. Industry players also see a record growth of U.S. $186 billion in 2010.”
The China Sourcing Fair will include everything from ready-to-wear, outerwear, sweaters and knits, and bridal apparel to textiles, yarn, fiber, trim and accessories.
At the India Sourcing Fair, the offerings include casual, fashion handbags and evening bags, hair accessories, hats, sunglasses, jewelry, scarves, gloves, belts, footwear, luggage, socks, umbrellas, and men’s and women’s apparel, as well as garment trimming supplies.
