It's no surprise that Vietnam is on the rise as a major manufacturer and exporter within the region.

This year, the Investment & Trade Promotion Centre of Vietnam brought a total of 40 participating fashion companies to the Global Sources trade-show in Hong Kong, exhibiting the latest fashion bags, sportswear, apparel, footwear, accessories and fabrics.

Global Sources Fashion is one of Hong Kong’s largest fashion sourcing events in Asia, bridging thousands of buyers and exporters in a single event.

This isn't the first time Vietnamese companies have participated in the Global Sources trade-show.

In fact, ITPC has been helping many small to medium size Vietnamese enterprises maximise their global export potential by bringing them to exhibit at the trade show for the past 3 years.

Aside from exporters, the trade-show also featured designers from Vietnam, showing signs of a growing fashion design industry in the country.
