THE LONDON TEXTILE FAIR
TLTF is the leading industry sourcing event in the UK, attracting around 5000 professional visitors at each edition. The show has 3 halls: Textiles, Accessories and Trims, Print Design and Vintage Garments. The event attracts international manufacturers, with a waiting list of about 30 companies willing to join at each edition. Agents play an important part in the exhibitions, sometimes manning the stand for their oversees manufacturers.
TLTF concept is very simple: to provide each exhibitor with a single stand, chairs, table cloth, rails and a sign. This ensures that each and every exhibitor is promoted equally in this way and big banners on the floor are not allowed. Whether a large or a small manufacturer, the modular format of single tables offers an equal opportunity for all. All tables are selected via a lottery so there is no possibility of ordering a better position “it’s pot luck”.
This simple system reflects the unbelievably low cost for a fair of this importance and their very strict ethos that all exhibitors should be on a level playing field. The upcoming edition will be held on September 3 & 4, 2024, at the Business Design Centre in Islington, London.
