Katy Lam, Director of Trade Fairs, Messe Frankfurt Hong Kong, says: "Accessories are one of the most important sectors in the apparel textile industry. They are not just a basic item anymore. They can change the look and feel of products and are becoming increasingly trendy. Intertextile Shanghai Apparel Fabrics is one of the leading and most varied textile fairs in Asia and is the perfect place to showcase accessories products as well as textiles."
