From USA-ITA OFF THE CUFF for July 19, 2013
If you attended our West Coast Seminar in February, you had the opportunity to meet the Taiwan Textile Federation and learn more about sourcing opportunities in Taiwan. Now, you have the opportunity to go to Taipei IN Style and explore their products!
In February, Justin Huang, Secretary General of the Taiwan Textile Federation, explained why Taiwan is an excellent option for your sourcing needs. In addition to impressive expertise and capacity in chemical fibers like polyester and nylon, Taiwan has thriving research, development, and production in functional textiles for performance wear as well as eco-textiles and on-trend styles. In fact, the Taiwan Textile Federation and the Taiwan Textile Research Institute have jointly developed a certification system that includes 18 standards for functional textiles. You can read more about Taiwan’s industry in his PowerPoint presentation here.
If these sourcing opportunities intrigue you, the Taiwan Textile Federation invites USA-ITA members to attend Taipei IN Style from October 15-17 at the Taiwan World Trade Center in Taipei. This unique industry event will not only provide a platform for Taiwan’s high-fashion brands, but will also provide the opportunity to explore Taiwan’s extensive research and development in all areas of the industry.
The Taiwan Textile Federation invites USA-ITA members to apply for the VIP Incentive Program, which will provide airfare, hotel accommodations, and of course, matchmaking meetings per your preferences to eligible buyers.You can download the application form here.
