ABOUT THE FAIR
The TexTailor Expo, launched in 2018, has established itself as a pivotal event in the realm of fashion and textile industry, taking place in the picturesque city of Plovdiv, Bulgaria, within the impressive setting of the International Fair Plovdiv. The name "TexTailor" serves as a creative combination of the words "textile" and "tailor," reflecting the core focus of the fair: a spectrum extending from textiles to bespoke fashion.
This annual fair is organized by SPEX Ltd., in collaboration with International Fair Plovdiv AD, serving not only as a business event but also as a platform for knowledge exchange, innovation, and creative cooperation within the industry. Its main topics encompass the presentation of textile raw materials, tailoring equipment, ready-to-wear garments, clothing procurement, and the showcasing of complete fashion collections from both established and emerging designers.
The exhibitors, originating both from Bulgaria and internationally, represent a wide array of sectors within the textile and fashion industry. This includes manufacturers and importers of fabrics, garments, shoes, threads, and accessories, as well as companies specializing in tailored clothing, and individuals or companies presenting their own fashion lines and brands.
The fair not only attracts professionals from all phases of textile manufacturing but also owners, managers of textile companies, retailers, decision-makers, and industry experts who form the main visitor profile.
Highlights of the Expo not only include diverse product presentations and services but also special events and competitions like "Tailor your mind," which brings young designers into the spotlight. The program also encompasses fashion shows, seminars, training on industry trends and innovations, and a special start-up zone.
Moreover, the TexTailor Expo also acts as a bridge connecting Bulgaria's local textile and fashion economy with the global industry. It draws foreign traders and wholesale customers from across Europe, thus promoting the exchange of knowledge, ideas, and products among various market participants.
The venue, International Fair Plovdiv, stands out not only for its impressive architecture and functionality but also for its strategic location in Plovdiv, ensuring easy accessibility for both national and international visitors. This place merges culture and business in a manner that wonderfully supports and complements the creative spirit of the TexTailor Expo.
In summary, the TexTailor Expo provides an inspiring stage where expertise, innovation, and business opportunities in the diverse world of textile and fashion converge, offering a forward-looking framework for both exhibitors and visitors alike.
The TexTailor Expo will take place on 4 days from Friday, 25. September to Monday, 28. September 2026 in Plovdiv.
