The event will showcase everything from fibres to laces, to hooks and packaging. It is expected to draw visitors from a wide variety of sectors including brand owners, manufacturers of intimate wear, designers, export houses, large format retailers, online retailers, buying houses etc. More than 1000 brands from India alone are expected to visit with 80 exhibitors from 10+ Countries.
