Manufacturers and suppliers of organic, eco-friendly, or functional fabrics will once again find a prime product marketing platform in Interstoff Asia Essential, scheduled to run from 8 – 10 October 2008 at the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre.

The fair is positioned as a niche event, bringing together suppliers and buyers of the most cutting-edge textiles available in the global marketplace. Fabrics which are made from eco-friendly materials, whose manufacturing process has minimum impact on the environment, take centre stage. Also showcased are fabrics which are multi-functional or that have a range of invisible properties, adding to their intrinsic value.

Over 200 exhibitors are expected to participate, bringing with them a wide range of fabrics in all fashion categories. The last Autumn fair attracted 8,500 buyers from 55 countries & regions, highlighting the demand for high-value, ground-breaking textile products. To make it easier for buyers to find what they need at the Autumn 2009 fair, a number of special display areas will be erected:

Eco-textiles: Fabrics That Care – a showcase for eco-friendly textiles, such as those made with organic or natural fibres, or that minimise impact on the environment during manufacturing and finishing process. All products will be labelled with the Interstoff Asia Essential eco-labelling system, developed by the show organisers in association with Sachiko Inoue, one of Japan's leading textile experts and trend forecasters.
