Turkish Textile Fair in U.S.

Despite the recent detention crisis between Turkey and the U.S., more than one thousand professional buyers, including Tommy Hilfiger, Donna Karan, Ralph Lauren, Liz Claiborne, and Nautica, visited Turkish stands and got information about Turkish products.

Fifty-one Turkish textile firms, including such sector leaders as Aksu, Altinyildiz, Akin Textile, Deba, Bossa and Yunsa, are participating in the fair organized by the Istanbul Textile and Ready-Made Clothing Exporters Union (ITKIB). The fair, at The Grand Hyatt Hotel, one of Manhattan’s most distinguished hotels, will last two days.
