Source Fashion Exhibition - United Kingdom
13 January 2026 - 15 January 2026
Sri Lanka Export Development Board is organising Sri Lanka participation at “Source Fashion Exhibition” to be held in the United Kingdom from 13th to 15th January 2026 for Sri Lanka Apparel Sector companies.
With the implementation of the UK’s Developing Countries Trading Scheme (DCTS) in early 2026, new market opportunities will open since liberalized Rules of Origin under DCTS will allow a wider range of Sri Lankan garment products to qualify for zero tariffs, even when incorporating inputs sourced from other countries across Asia and Africa. This will significantly lower production costs, increase sourcing flexibility, and enhance Sri Lanka’s competitiveness.
The Source Fashion show is the leading sourcing exhibition in the UK, attracting sourcing professionals from over 1,000 UK and European retailers, including Tesco, ASOS, and John Lewis. Its July 2025 edition recorded 51% increase in visitors compared to July 2024, reaching over 3200 attendees with 95% holding sole or joint purchasing power. Exhibitors represented 22 countries.
