Interview with Sophio Andaghuladze, Co-Founder of Soteri Company
I’m excited to introduce Soteri, a fashion brand and design house based in Tbilisi. We specialize in formal clothing for both men and women, and our atelier offers bespoke tailoring services. Additionally, we provide laboratory services for a variety of Georgian brands and designers. We are also deeply engaged in social initiatives and collaborate with various companies in France.
We are thrilled to participate in the Fabtex Georgia Textile Exhibition, marking our first opportunity to meet with suppliers we’ve previously travelled far to connect with. This event in Tbilisi allows us to gather all our suppliers in one location at Expo Georgia at the end of the month.
This exhibition is particularly significant for us, as Georgia’s fashion industry is rapidly evolving and gaining success in international markets. It is crucial for local producers to have access to suppliers in a comfortable setting, especially since Georgia is strategically positioned among textile-producing countries.
We hope that this event will foster sustainable communication with major suppliers, enabling us to pursue sustainable fashion initiatives. Today, Georgian quality and fashion are on the rise, making strong supplier relationships essential. This exhibition presents an excellent opportunity for B2B conversations and networking, allowing us to build meaningful connections with honest suppliers.
I encourage everyone in the Georgian fashion and textile sector to take advantage of this opportunity and visit Expo Georgia from September 26-28. The exhibition will showcase a wide range of offerings, from uniform production to fashion design.
Georgia boasts a significant number of suppliers, and we are exploring ways to unite them effectively within our region. Our country’s logistical advantages make it easy to import, store, and distribute products to Europe and Asia, facilitating business operations.
I believe this exhibition can serve as a launching pad for substantial collaborations, positioning Georgia as a central hub in the textile industry. Many companies are currently facing challenges with timelines and fabric sourcing, and this event will provide the necessary connections and support for all participants.
We look forward to welcoming everyone at Fabtex Georgia between 26-28 September
