China Clothing Textiles and Accessories Expo

The highly anticipated China Clothing, Textile and Accessories Expo (CCTAE) is returning to Melbourne next month, offering established and emerging Australian fashion brands a unique chance to connect with reputable suppliers without leaving their city. The major event brings together over 520 suppliers from across China to the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, creating an unmissable opportunity for industry professionals. The Expo covers four crucial sectors— apparel, accessories, textiles and homewares —and runs alongside the Global Sourcing Expo, which features more than 800 exhibitors from across the globe. Together, they offer the largest international sourcing event in Australia, and provide a comprehensive view of the latest in global fashion, textiles, and manufacturing. At this year's CCTAE, attendees will have the chance to gain early insight into cutting-edge trends, make direct connections with international suppliers, and build long-term relationships to streamline their supply chains. The event also provides invaluable information on best practices for scaling businesses and comparing supply chain options. Running in parallel to the expo is the Global Sourcing Seminar Series – a daily program of speaking sessions featuring a lineup of industry experts to help local professionals navigate the world of global sourcing. The expo is free and is a must-visit for those in the fashion industry!
