Successful Conclusion of CTAF and Texworld Paris
The Paris Expo Porte de Versailles recently hosted the 29th China Textile and Apparel Trade Fair (CTAF) and Texworld Apparel Sourcing Paris, concluding a successful event on July 3. This exhibition, established in 2007 and co-organized by Messe Frankfurt France and the Sub-Council of Textile Industry, CCPIT, serves as a vital hub for trade opportunities and global supply chain stabilization in the textile industry.
Celebrating 60 Years of Sino-French Diplomatic Relations
Paris Expo event coincides with the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and France, an occasion marked by a grand opening ceremony. Distinguished guests such as Xu Yingxin, Vice President of the China National Textile and Apparel Council, and other high-profile representatives from both China and France, attended and cut the ribbon.
Showcasing Chinese Innovation and Sustainability
Nearly 1,200 exhibitors from 26 countries participated, with a remarkable 800+ from Chinese textile and apparel enterprises. These Chinese exhibitors showcased their prowess in technological innovation, eco-friendly manufacturing, intelligent production, brand development, and supply chain agility. Since 2017, CTAF has been instrumental in promoting China’s independent clothing brands, many of which were prominently featured this year.

A Milestone in China-France Textile Collaboration
This year’s CTAF and Texworld Paris not only underscored China’s leading role in the global textile industry but also celebrated a significant milestone in China-France relations, paving the way for future collaboration in the fashion and textile sectors.
