PHYSICAL EVENTS

HEIMTEXTIL (10-13 January)

Held in Frankfurt, Germany, Heimtextil is an international trade show for home and contract textiles. It is a great platform for textile companies wishing to present their products to a wide audience, as the show can welcome 60,000+ visitors. Our team will be attending the event to promote a group of UK Interior Textile businesses, with the support of the Department for International Trade (DIT).

PITTI UOMO (10-13 January)

Pitti Uomo, a key trade show for men’s clothing and accessories, takes place twice a year in Florence, Italy. Its next edition will be held from the 10th to the 13th of January. UKFT, with the support of DIT, is helping a group of menswear brands exhibiting at the show and their collections get safely to Florence.
