The 3rd edition of Denimsandjeans in Vietnam was a successful event with over 45 exhibitors and global visitors from over 300 companies. The show has become a focal point of the denim industry in Vietnam and the next edition coming up on June 12-13, 2019 is expected to bring renewed interest especially in terms of new treaties being signed by the country.
Sustainability is the need of the hour and companies have been hugely investing to create a pool of sustainable assets to save the environment and promote sustainability in the denim industry. Leading retailers including C&A, H&M, and PVH have been keeping very high standards for sustainability enabling and forcing the suppliers to take adequate measures to ensure absolute sustainability at different stages of production.
Vietnam is showing great promise because of its increasing importance due to various pacts and there are several trade agreements and treaties lined up in Vietnam with countries and group of countries and implementation of which will surely lead to a massive growth in the apparel productions and exports and that is why the entire narrative of SUSTAINABILITY becomes very relevant for Vietnam.
With an objective to take this entire discussion of SUSTAINABILITY one step ahead, Denimsandjeans has themed its Vietnam edition MY EARTH MY DENIM. Vietnam is fortunate to have started its denim industry in a very balanced way where sustainable production has been ensured in many ways due to local govt laws. This also helped and pushed the industry to invest in machines and equipment which could help make a minimum impact on the environment. With a little more push and knowledge, the industry is expected to be one of the most sustainable globally.
Sandeep Agarwal, founder Denimsandjeans says “ Our Vietnam show has been going from strength to strength and we have been steadily getting into the calendars of different buyers who wish to source denims from Vietnam. We also see increased interest from more Vietnamese garment companies to be at the platform to reach out to the buyers and that is why a number of garment companies from Vietnam will be there at the show to cater to visiting international buyers. Besides the Vietnam specific collections by our local and global exhibitors, talks by global experts at our shows are also greatly appreciated by the local visitors .
