For 20 years, Textile Forum has been the place for designers to source high-quality fabrics, with a small minimum order – often as low as 1m.

Most of the fabrics are available from stock, from well-established, predominantly UK companies that have been working with leading fashion houses across the world.

Textile Forum: 16-17 March 2022 One Marylebone, London

The choice of fabrics exhibited includes lace, silk, wool, leather, cotton, viscose and sustainable textiles for womenswear, menswear, bridalwear, lingerie and interiors. There are also accessories such as buttons, linings and labels.

Day two of the UK’s leading wholesale marketplace for home, gift and fashion, Spring Fair, saw the official opening and launch of the game-changing Curated Meetings programme uniting actively sourcing buyers from retailers and destinations including Asda, Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum, and Houstons, with brands such as Filofax, Hill Interiors and Letts of London launching new collections.

Three rounds of Curated Meetings sessions took place today comprising a series of 15 minute meetings between buyers and suppliers. Monica Todd, Product Manager, was delighted with the first day, saying; “There was a great buzz in the Curated Meetings lounge today as over 100 new business connections were made.

So many businesses enjoyed and benefited from the experience, and we were delighted to hear the feedback from ASDA. Offering an intelligent roadmap to ROI, the future for Curated Meetings is very exciting and I can’t wait to get back to business again tomorrow for day two.” Drew Stevenson, Source Specialist, from ASDA commented: “We joined Curated Meetings to get a better view of selected suppliers, an overview of the show and to open a dialogue with suppliers we have not spoken to previously.

It was good time spent as we were able to see a number of suppliers in the shortest time possible. We did do some groundwork in advance to identify the right meeting opportunities.

The most valuable part of joining Curated Meetings was to sit down with people and scope out products that we have not sourced previously but that are good opportunities for us.

It has been well organised, easy to find, and been an excellent experience. I was here looking at Party, Festive and Stationery products, but would expand on these sectors.

I will join Curated Meetings again and advise our trading teams to do the same.”

All stakeholders in the textile sector are concerned about sustainability. Coats, one of the most well-known industrial thread makers, is inviting industry brands, manufacturers, and recyclers to work on a new circularity idea that will make end-of-life garment recycling more convenient and cost-effective.

Coats earned $ 1.2 billion in sales in 2020, thanks to a staff of 17,000 workers spread across six continents.

The thread giant is introducing EcoCycle, a kind of water-soluble thread designed to make clothing disassembly easier. According to the firm, it is now trying to scale up its circular solution through cooperation at the garment design stage, according to a statement.

As more companies assume responsibility for the whole life cycle of their goods, it's critical that they incorporate the appropriate threads and applications from the beginning of the creative process.

"We are appealing for industry participants that want to meaningfully participate in end-of-life recycling to engage with us to incorporate it right at the beginning of the garment design," Sonya Manolova, Product Director, Apparel and Footwear, Coats, stated. Together, we can improve our present first-generation EcoCycle product to help our industry move closer to circularity."

It's worth noting that the textile industry consumes around 100 million tonnes of new fibers each year, and that nearly 90% of textile fibers end up in a waste stream — either incineration or landfill.

The fashion industry has not embraced recycling, owing to the fact that most clothing has components composed of a variety of materials and composites.

Although the disassembly process is tedious, labor-intensive, and expensive, many of the individual fibers are reused at the end of their useful lives.

Approximately 25% of clothing is never worn, with freshly purchased clothes being stuffed into closets and forgotten about until they are finally tossed into the waste stream.

Coats has revolutionized an aspect of its core product offering with the introduction of EcoCycle, after decades of creating and producing threads to keep clothing together.

The new thread maintains its resilience throughout the life of the garment, whereas seams sewed with EcoCycle disintegrate when washed in an industrial machine at 95 degrees Celsius.

This allows the garment to be deconstructed easily and rapidly by simply pulling it apart, allowing the non-textile and textile components to be separated and recycled.

"As an industry, we need to reset the basics in order to guarantee supply chain circularity," said Andrew Morgan, Coats' Head of Sustainability. "Sustainable innovation flips the script on product creation by focusing on the end of life first, before figuring out how to make it."
