Source Fashion Exhibition 2027 - United Kingdom
19 January 2027 - 21 January 2027
Sri Lanka Export Development Board proposes to organize Sri Lanka participation at “Source Fashion Exhibition” to be held in the United Kingdom from 19th to 21st January 2027 for Sri Lanka Apparel Sector companies.
With the implementation of the UK’s Developing Countries Trading Scheme (UK-DCTS) in 2026, new market opportunities have emerged for Sri Lankan apparel exporters. The scheme provides more liberal Rules of Origin, enabling a wider range of Sri Lankan apparel products to qualify for zero tariffs, including products incorporating inputs sourced from other countries across Asia and Africa. This greater flexibility is expected to reduce production costs, expand sourcing options, and enhance the overall competitiveness of Sri Lankan apparel exporters in the UK market.
The Source Fashion Show is one of the UK’s leading fashion sourcing exhibitions, providing a strategic platform for international manufacturers to connect directly with UK and European retailers, brands, and sourcing professionals, including leading retailers such as Tesco, ASOS, and John Lewis. The January 2026 edition recorded a 3.1% increase in visitor numbers, attracting more than 4,000 verified fashion buyers and sourcing professionals, including representatives from leading UK and European retailers actively seeking new manufacturing and sourcing partners.
