Why Exhibit ... the reasons are too many to ignore
As a show that bridges the sourcing gap between the Asian manufacturers and global buyers with special emphasis on Indian retail, APPAREL SOURCING WEEK, scheduled to be announced at Sheraton Grande -Whitefield, Bengaluru is the first ever global sourcing platform in India.

With presence in India, Bangladesh and Vietnam, Apparel Resources is taking the lead in tapping the vibrancy of Asia as a manufacturing and prospective market destination.
Strategically located:
Open economy, vibrant culture, and political stability with English as an official language has made India an ideal choice for setting up of operations by international brands and retailers for their sourcing needs from South East Asia. Also, many international buyers and manufacturers from all major consumption centers and manufacturing destinations frequently visit the country to create collections and source fabric, yarns and other fashion accessories.
Interact with global sourcing teams:
Through a specially designed buyer program, the visitor team at ASW is meeting and inviting a good number of direct buyers from Europe, USA, Australia, Canada, Japan, looking to work with factories in this region. Meet these potential buyers as they search for new vendors.
Tap International brands/retailers through buying offices:
India is the home to many buying houses that work with international wholesalers and importers catering to a large number of small retailers in the west. The event will give an opportunity to meet and discuss business with buying & sourcing teams of international retailers and brands.
Growing domestic fashion market:
