Saudi Fashiontex Expo 2026

About the event
Saudi Fashiontex Expo returns for its fourth edition from 24 to 27 September 2026 at the Jeddah Center for Exhibitions and Events, opening to visitors from 3pm to 10pm on each of the four days. The show gathers more than 550 exhibitors from 25 countries alongside over 10,000 professional visitors from 41 countries, among them textile manufacturers, brand owners, procurement managers, fashion specialists and buyer delegations.
Product sectors on display span women's wear, men's wear, sportswear, knitwear, socks, garments, textile accessories, fabric, yarn, leather, shoes and bags, and evening dress. The exhibition is built around sourcing and export, bringing production, quality, trends, sustainability and design together under one roof. It runs alongside a seminar programme held with the Fashion Pioneers Club across all four days, covering brand building, manufacturing technology, artificial intelligence in fashion and the move from local identity to global luxury, together with a trade fashion show and a hands-on draping masterclass, and closing with an awards ceremony.
The expo is organised by Pyramids Group, a Turkish exhibition organiser headquartered in Istanbul, in cooperation with textile and fashion federations, associations and institutions across Europe, Asia and Africa. The show is aimed at trade professionals, and the visitor badge is free through the organiser's registration page.
