Showcasing excellence and sustainability

The Egyptian Pavilion is set to underline the superior quality, expertise, and eco-conscious practices of Egyptian manufacturers. Renowned for their proficiency in textiles, tailoring, and garment production, Egyptian factories offer buyers a unique mix of affordability and premium quality. Faster shipping times to Europe, thanks to geographic proximity, reduce lead times, while trade agreements such as the EU-Egypt Association Agreement make sourcing more cost-effective.

Most manufacturers are aligned with international ethical standards, holding certifications like BSCI, WRAP, and OEKO-TEX, ensuring sustainable production processes. Suzanne Ellingham, Event Director at Source Fashion, stated, “Egypt is a rising star in sourcing, combining tradition, innovation, and sustainability. We’re thrilled to showcase these values at Source Fashion 2025.”
