A total of 39 Vietnamese garment and textile enterprises participated in the leading international trade fair for fashion and apparel procurement, Texworld New York City 2024.
Held from July 16-18, 2024, in New York, United States, this three-day fair attracted hundreds of suppliers and designers from the global textile and garment supply chain.
The Vietnamese enterprises showcased products featuring diverse and creative designs, with many items made from eco-friendly materials such as coffee and lotus fibers. Ambassador Dang Hoang Giang, Vietnam's permanent representative to the UN, expressed his admiration for the impressive presence of Vietnamese apparel products in New York City, which is recognised as one of the world's premier fashion centers.
Textile and garments are key export products for Vietnam having significant potential for market expansion. Ambassador Giang emphasised on the importance of approaching potential customers, staying abreast of fashion trends, and focusing on innovation to meet the demands of discerning markets like the US.
He also recommended, local associations and businesses enhance coordination with Vietnam’s representative agencies in the US, including the Permanent Mission of Vietnam in New York. This would help Vietnamese products gain a stronger foothold in the local market besides fostering new growth opportunities for the apparel industry and strengthening trade links between the two nations, he said.
