The Make it British Live! hall is a brand new area at The London Textile Fair dedicated entirely to UK garment, accessory and homeware manufacturers.
The London Textile Fair is the UK’s biggest fabric show, and already includes many UK textile mills. With the opening of the Make it British Live! hall, the event will now give visitors the opportunity to find all the suppliers they need to complete an entirely British supply chain all under one roof.
The Make it British Live! area brings together manufacturers and suppliers from across the British Isles. Exhibitors include: Garment manufacturers producing womenswear, menswear and childrenswear, knitwear manufacturers, swimwear and lingerie manufacturers, home textile manufacturers, fabric printers, sample makers, pattern cutters and accessory manufacturers.
Everything you need to take a concept right through to production exclusively within the UK.
The event builds on the success of Make it British Live! the trade show which ran from 2014 to 2020 and established itself as the go-to sourcing event for British manufacturing. At its peak the show attracted over 5,000 visitors and more than 200 exhibitors, drawing buyers and sourcing directors from major retailers alongside independent designers and emerging brands. Its return as a dedicated hall within The London Textile Fair gives it a permanent and fitting home at the heart of the UK textile industry.
“Since the Make it British Live! event shut its doors in 2020 there has been no single event where designers and buyers could go to find all the suppliers they need to get their products made in the UK. When the London Textile Fair invited me to collaborate with them on a dedicated UK manufacturer space within their event, it felt like the perfect partnership.”
Kate Hills, Founder Make it British
