From August 28th-30th, 2023, Arabella team including our business manager Bella, was so excited that attended the 2023 Intertextile Expo in Shanghai. After 3-year pandemic, this exhibition is held successfully, and it was nothing short of spectacular. It attracted numerous well-known clothing brands, fabrics and accessories suppliers from both domestic and international markets. Walking through the venue, it was evident that after three years of dealing with the pandemic, many of the brands and suppliers we were familiar with had been through significant transformations.

Sustainability Has Become A New Topic

At this exhibition, sustainability  were given a dedicated section. Within this area, we witnessed a diverse range of bio-based, sustainable, eco-friendly, and recyclable fabrics, all releated to our current emphasis on renewable concepts. With the shifting consumer attitudes and growing environmental awareness brought about by the pandemic, the concept of sustainability is increasingly permeating our life, especially including our choices in clothing. For example, recently, the bio-based materials brand, BIODEX, unveiled the world’s first dual-component PTT fiber, while Nike amazingly introduced the ISPA Link Axis collections of fully circular athletic shoes, they are all presenting a rising status of environmentalism and sustainability concepts within the fashion industry.

“The Forest Gump” Shows Surprisingly On the Expo

What amazed us is that we have met one of our old friend, who is a reliable and honest fabrics supplier and partner.

Arabella has worked with them for several years. Before the pandemic, the supplier still was ordinary and unnoticed in the industry since they were new. However, when we went to visit our old friend, the continuous stream of people lingering at their booth that surprised us greatly. Their booth was meticulously and creatively organized, while there were much more latest fabrics samples hanging on the shelf. They were too busy to talk to our group until yesterday, our team visited their company again, when they could take a breath to explain their amazingly growing business during the pandemic, totally against multiple rest suppliers we had ever visited on the expo. What they do was just that, kept their enthusiasm in producing and offering the top-quality to every client even it was in co-vid.

Harvest of this Journey

Arabella’s participation in the exhibition has been highly rewarding. Not only did we discover a plenty of innovative fabrics, but our greatest takeaway was the inspiration from our partners who persevered through the pandemic. Their unwavering commitment led to their tremendous success at the exhibition, serving as a valuable lesson in resilience and determination for our team.

We will learn to be a “Forest Gump”for our clients and keep in pursuits of offering better services.
