About

Apparel Sourcing Week, (ASW) platform is aligned to the changing dynamics of the industry, moving in pace with At Apparel Sourcing Week (ASW), our heartbeat is the vibrant community that defines the ever-changing landscape of the fashion industry. We move in sync with the dynamic world of apparel sourcing, adapting to the evolving needs of both suppliers and buyers.

ASW is not just an event; it's a celebration of collaboration, knowledge, and inspiration. Our platform offers three key zones, creating a seamless sourcing process with greater transparency and reach.

Why ASW is the Right Place to Source

Apparel Sourcing Week (ASW) has been conceptualized as the first-ever global sourcing platform in India for searching for manufacturing partners in Asia. The event, announced at the beautiful Sheraton Grande, Bengaluru, offers much more than just sourcing.

First-of-its-Kind Show

ASW is the first comprehensive show in India addressing the sourcing needs of traditional, emerging, and Indian retail markets. While markets in the US and Europe constantly look for new partners offering unique products and competitive prices, expanding retailers/brands in emerging markets like Japan and India face challenges in meeting increasing demands for quantities and product categories. There is no credible platform in this region to meet new business partners until now.

Competitive Sourcing

In a dynamic marketplace, the opportunity to source competitively is critical to the success of any retailer or brand worldwide. This means not only the price points at which one buys merchandise but also innovations and selecting the right vendor to deliver the product on time and at a certain quality.

Product Diversity

Why get limited by what manufacturers in any one particular country have to offer? At ASW, you can see a wide variety of products in fabrics sourced globally and manufactured by some of the best factories in Asia. Categories include denim, shirts, trousers, lingerie, athleisure, knits, sweaters, suits, kidswear, jackets, innerwear, and sportswear.

View Targeted Collections from Multiple Countries

After the success of ASW19, the current edition is poised to have 100 garment manufacturers from Bangladesh, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, and India display collections that are in line with trends and fashion requirements of different markets.

Chance to Meet New Suppliers with Proven Performance

Each of the exhibitors is hand-picked and has a strong reputation in the international market, ready and keen to expand their buyer base. The event will provide a conducive environment to build long-term relationships, understand manufacturing capabilities, the quality and timely delivery standards, and identify ways manufacturers can address your growing needs.

See the Latest in Fashion Fabrics and Accessories

Understanding that global buying teams are always on the lookout for new ideas, a special section is being developed to showcase the latest developments in fabric and accessories. 50 innovative companies from around the world will display new developments in fiber, fabric, and accessories.

Retail Industry-Focused Knowledge Platforms

Thought leaders from the global retail and sourcing industry will debate and discuss current and upcoming issues impacting the industry. Seminars, vendor sessions, customer/market talks, trend forecasts, and innovation zones will make ASW a platform of the future.

Invite-Only Networking Interventions

Many networking opportunities, including dinners, lunch, and recreational activities, are planned to allow networking in a relaxed and informal setting. These exclusive opportunities will provide a platform to meet prospective business partners and unwind even as hectic activities at ASW keep the buzz going.

Show Backed by 25 Years of Industry Experience

ASW is organized by Apparel Resources, the publishers of Apparel Online, which has dedicated issues for India, Bangladesh, and Vietnam. Stitchworld, the only fashion technology magazine for the region, is also published under the AR platform. With a reputation for credibility, ASW is set on the same benchmarks that the company is known for: depth, hospitality, and networking.
