Fashion is considered a national passion in Italy. Be it clothes, shoes or fashion accessories, the Italian products have always captured the minds of fashion conscious men and women around the world.  The situation is no different across the Middle East and especially the UAE as Italy is ranked amongst the top ten trading partners of the country. The Italian exports to the UAE amounted to a massive 2.5 billion euros in 2005 and include jewellery, clothes, accessories and shoes amongst others. The Middle East region has witnessed a 28% increase in the exports from Italy, which is expected to grow even more over the next 2-3 years.

Motexha, the Middle East's largest sourcing platform for textiles, garments, leather and fashion accessories has always witnessed an active participation from Italy. We have received a significant interest from the Italian companies to participate at Motexha as they look ahead to expand their market in the Middle East region. Also take a look at the latest Exhibition News for additional updates on the Italian participation.

At the same time lingerie is turning out to be a major import in the UAE and Saudi Arabian markets. According to the statistics revealed by European Fashion and Textile Export Council (EFTEC), the two countries account for 77% of the Europe's total lingerie brand exports to the Gulf followed by Kuwait at 16%.

 

The 30th edition of Motexha is scheduled from March 31st - April 2nd, 2008 at the Dubai International Exhibition Centre. The show next year will feature competitively priced products by over 250 exhibitors coming from 25 countries.
