TEXPREMIUM

At TEXPREMIUM you can meet luxury fashion fabric and accessory makers from Europe and further afield over two days in London. Textile Events runs the trade fair, and the next edition takes place on 1 and 2 December 2026 at the Truman Brewery on Brick Lane in Shoreditch. It sits among the events in our London trade show listings.

You get what the organiser describes as the first UK show given over entirely to top-of-the-range textiles and accessories. It started in 2022 and is held twice a year, in June and December, bringing mills and accessory makers to meet British fashion brands and garment manufacturers.

Plan your visit on 1 and 2 December 2026

You get two trade days, both running from 9am to 6pm, and you register through the online visitor registration form. The fair is trade only and limited to people working in fashion and textiles. Entry may be refused to anyone unable to show a professional or educational connection to the industry.

If you are a student on a relevant fashion or textile course, you can attend on the second day, 2 December. The organiser says the show is not aimed at people looking for small quantities or retail fabric, although some exhibitors may offer low minimum orders.

The mills and buyers you can meet

You can source from around 130 European mills, according to the organiser, with exhibitors coming from Europe and Japan. Most are manufacturers and their agents supplying high street clothing, with accessories and trims shown alongside fabrics. Exhibitor spotlights on the show website feature ITJV Têxteis, a Portuguese manufacturer; John England with Irish linen; Riopele from Portugal; Stephen Walters from the United Kingdom; and Mehler GmbH Tuchfabrik from Germany.

As an exhibitor you get in front of designers, buyers and contract manufacturers working for men’s and women’s clothing retailers, along with independent designers. Among the regular visitors the organiser names are Next, John Lewis, Marks & Spencer, Burberry, Zara, Primark, Selfridges and Stella McCartney. Other fixtures in our textiles and fashion section include Pure London and Harrogate Fashion Week, both starting on 7 February 2027. Garment decorators have their own trade show, Printwear & Promotion LIVE!, at NEC Birmingham from 21 February 2027.

A ready stand on equal terms

You get a ready stand on equal terms with every other exhibitor. Every exhibitor gets the same open 9 square metre space with no walls and no shell scheme, a table, four chairs, a tablecloth and a name sign. The organiser says this keeps oversized banners off the floor and presents every manufacturer equally. Stand positions are drawn by random lottery, though mills can be placed beside their agents where possible.

Your package also includes a profile in the show catalogue and the online exhibitor listing, promotion on the show’s social media, and a free after party on the first day. Clothing rails cost £30 each, up to three per table, and must be booked before the show. If you are comparing this format with a built stand, you may find our guides to shell scheme or space only and building an exhibition budget useful.

Apply early to secure your space

To secure your place, apply as early as possible, as the organiser advises. It reports that exhibition space is at capacity and cancellations are rare. The fair accepts only high-end and luxury textile and accessories manufacturers. You fill in a form on the show website and each application is reviewed before the team replies. Our guide to planning a December exhibition without losing the January follow-up covers the timing of post-show contact.

An experienced fabric show organiser

You exhibit with an organiser that says it has more than two decades of experience and runs several twice-yearly fabric exhibitions in London. Textile Events also runs The London Textile Fair, which has around 500 exhibitors from across the globe, and the organiser reports between 3,000 and 5,000 visitors at each of its events.

Reaching the Truman Brewery by rail and bus

According to the venue, you can walk from Shoreditch High Street Overground station in about five minutes, and Liverpool Street, served by the Central, Metropolitan, Circle and Hammersmith & City lines and National Rail, is about ten minutes on foot. The venue also lists Aldgate East on the District and Hammersmith & City lines, and Old Street on the Northern line is about fifteen minutes away. Buses 8, 55 and 242 run from the West End. Our guide to choosing your first UK trade show suits newcomers, and more events appear under trade shows across the United Kingdom and in the show calendar.
