Preview In Seoul 2027: Korea’s Leading Textile Fair Returns to COEX

Preview In Seoul 2027, also known as the Seoul International Textile Fair, will return from 18 to 20 August 2027 at COEX Hall B1 & D in Seoul, Republic of Korea.

Organized by the Korea Federation of Textile Industries (KOFOTI), the annual exhibition brings together textile manufacturers, sourcing professionals, designers, buyers and technology providers to explore developments across Korea’s textile and fashion supply chain.

Preview In Seoul has established itself as an important international platform for Korean textile innovation, particularly in areas such as functional fabrics, sustainable materials, advanced yarns, fashion technology and textile sourcing.

A Key Platform for Korea’s Textile Industry

Preview In Seoul serves as a business and sourcing platform connecting Korean manufacturers with international buyers and partners across the textile and apparel industry.

The exhibition traditionally covers a broad range of sectors including fibres and yarns, fabrics, functional and eco-friendly textiles, findings and trims, fashion products, textile machinery, digital textile printing and fashion technology.

The previous edition in 2026 attracted more than 15,000 visitors, reflecting the event’s growing role as an international meeting point for textile sourcing, innovation and industry exchange.

Sustainability and Functional Textiles Remain Central

Functional and sustainable textile development has become a defining part of Preview In Seoul, reflecting growing demand from global brands for materials that combine performance, environmental responsibility and advanced manufacturing technologies.

The exhibition provides international buyers with an opportunity to discover Korean suppliers serving fashion, sportswear, outdoor apparel, lifestyle products and specialised textile applications.

Recent editions have also placed greater attention on circularity, supply-chain transparency, responsible chemical management and next-generation material development as the textile and fashion industry responds to changing global sustainability requirements.

Connecting Global Buyers with Korean Textile Innovation

Beyond product sourcing, Preview In Seoul provides a platform for business networking, buyer meetings and knowledge exchange between Korean companies and international textile and fashion professionals.

The event traditionally attracts apparel brands, designers, sourcing teams, wholesalers, manufacturers, marketing professionals and other industry decision-makers looking for new materials, technologies and production partners.

Seminars, forums, trend presentations and related industry programmes have also formed part of recent editions, helping visitors explore developments in textile technology, sustainability, sourcing and global fashion markets.
