Our values:

Responsibility

We champion responsibility. It’s not just an addition to our show, it is our core value. Beautiful products can be made ethically, so we unite manufacturers practising environmental, transparent, and fair-trade methods, with brands and retailers looking to source sustainably.

Inspiration

Source Fashion is home to inspiration and endless possibilities. The definition of Source is ‘where things originate’, our show is a place where buyers come to discover raw materials, fabrics, trims, packaging, and in-house design services that will bring their new collections to life.

Connection

Our show nourishes meaningful connections. We are passionate about bringing the brightest minds in the industry together by enabling global manufacturers and suppliers to meet with buyers who want the security of knowing every conversation is one that could lead to the creation of a new range.

What is Source Fashion?

Source Fashion is the UK's new sustainable sourcing show, bringing the international fashion supply chain under one roof at Excel London, London. We're passionate about uniting manufacturers from key sourcing regions around the world with high-profile retailers, brands, and designers.

What is a trade show?

A trade show is an event that brings together members of a certain industry, allowing exhibitors to showcase their products and services to a large audience. Products are sold at a wholesale cost to visitors (retailers), and are often sold in bulk, at a lower price than the RRP. 

At Source Fashion, we strive to bring the best manufacturers, fabric producers and technology providers from around the world to Excel London – putting the fashion supply chain at the fingertips of fashion buyers. Find out more about visiting or exhibiting.
