Tom Bottomley, 24 November 2025 - TheIndustry.Fashion

UK responsible sourcing show Source Fashion, returning to Olympia London from 13-15 January 2026, has announced there will be an expanded line-up set to include the show’s first-ever British Pavillion.

The British Pavillion will spotlight design-led, circular and traceable production for brands looking to source responsibly and locally.

The show will also see the largest ever India Pavillion, with more exhibitors than ever before from India and Bangladesh showcasing their strength in large scale production, paired with innovation in sustainable processes, fabrics and trims.

Among India’s standout exhibitors, Coton Code Garments will bring woven and knitted apparel, supported by responsible production standards and modern manufacturing capabilities.

Exhibitors from China will demonstrate their precision, speed, and growing commitment to environmental accountability, while the Sri Lanka Pavilion will highlight exhibitors specialising in high-tech manufacturing, sustainability-led innovation, and "world-leading" compliance standards that have earned the country a reputation as a trusted sourcing destination for global brands.

From Africa, a dynamic collective of Kenya, Ethiopia, Egypt, and Tanzania will highlight the region’s growing role in global sourcing. Those pavilions will emphasise ethical production, expanding capacity and fair trade practices, underpinned by modern facilities and competitive solutions for brands seeking authentic, sustainable partnerships.

Representing the ITC pavilion, Handmade From Tanzania will showcase community-driven craftsmanship rooted in traditional techniques and heritage textile skills. Its socially led, women-centred supply chains bring authentic, handmade artistry to the global stage, connecting African creativity with brands seeking meaningful, ethical partnerships.

South America’s rich tradition of textile craft and its growing role in responsible fashion will also be highlighted through Peru’s innovative, transparent manufacturing capabilities. SH Sourcing will bring expertise in premium knitwear and jersey manufacturing, integrating full supply chain transparency and reduced impact dyeing.

Additionally, Portugal will continue to “set the benchmark for premium European manufacturing”, combining exceptional craftsmanship, short lead times and sustainable innovation that make it a preferred choice for brands seeking quality and closer proximity.

Suzanne Ellingham, Event Director at Source Fashion, said: “Source Fashion has grown into a truly global community, one that reflects the way the fashion industry itself is evolving.

“Our January 2026 edition brings together makers, manufacturers, and artisans from every corner of the world who share a commitment to creativity, quality and conscious production.

“The expansion of our international line-up, from Asia and Africa to Europe and the UK, shows that responsible sourcing is no longer a niche, it’s the new standard.

“We’re proud to provide a platform where brands can build meaningful, transparent partnerships and discover the future of fashion with integrity.”

Reflecting the show’s growing international appeal, Fibre to Fibre, a Dutch company specialising in post-consumer circular production, is among the exhibitors joining the January line-up. Known for its innovation in recycling and circular textile systems, the company is helping redefine what’s possible for scalable, sustainable manufacturing in Europe and beyond.

Tom Atkin, UK Business Development Lead at Fibre to Fibre, said: “Fibre to Fibre removes the usual barriers to entry for post-consumer circular production. We’ve proven our products and service in the Netherlands, and now we’re offering them to the UK market.

“Rather than overpaying for poor quality, we offer a service that guarantees quality at a price competitive with organic cotton and recycled polyester. Source Fashion is the perfect place to take this to market with brands attending from all over the world.”
