China International Trade Fair for Apparel Fabrics and Accessories is to be held in Shanghai from October 25-28.

Accessories companies such as Swarovski, Coats China and Bemis are all taking part in the show together with long-term exhibitors such as Union Knopf Ltd and RiRi SA.
 

Swarovski's offerings feature colourful crystal components that are used in the fashion industry on items such as buttons, sew-on and hotfix stones and crystal transfers.
 

Coats China, another exhibitor at this year's trade fair, is the world's largest sewing thread maker and the world's second largest zip maker. Coats' vast product range includes solutions for jeans, trainers, automotive airbags and even bullet-proof vests.

Bemis is a first time exhibitor at Intertextile Shanghai Apparel Fabrics. The company is a major manufacturer of thermoplastic adhesives, coatings, tapes and speciality film products that serve various markets.
 

Four of the seven halls at Intertextile Shanghai Apparel Fabrics will feature forums, forecasted by Interstoff Asia Directions Committee and Fabrics China, illustrating the colours, shapes, textures and patterns that will dominate next season's runways and wardrobe.
