Italian textile expo a cut above

Milano Unica China, the Italian professional textile-accessories expo, was recently held in Beijing, with 128 Italian companies presenting their 2014 spring/summer collections.

This is the third time Milano Unica has been held in China. In March 2012, 95 Italian companies took part in the expo in Beijing and 124 firms participated in an expo in October.

There is a large market for Italian textiles in China, and strong interest in the textiles from local fashion houses.
