The 135th Canton Fair Phase III is in full swing, showcasing five major sectors across 21 exhibition areas, including toys, pregnancy and baby items, fashion, household textiles, stationery, and health and leisure. Among them, the household textiles sector occupies 66,000 square meters of exhibition space, with 3,164 booths and 1,623 participating companies.

The textile and apparel sector features seven zones, including men's and women's wear, sportswear and leisurewear, children's wear, underwear, clothing accessories, household textiles, and textile raw materials, totaling 9,273 booths. The number of booths for intermediate products such as textile raw materials is 1159, up by 5% compared to the previous session.

Clothing companies based in Guangdong province account for the majority at the fair.

Inside the exhibition hall, Cai Chunhua, the operations director of Guangdong Textiles Import & Export Corporation Limited, dressed in Mamianqun (or horse-faced skirt), is attracting buyers by showcasing their products. This year, the company has brought eye-catching Mamianqun, attracting buyers from Southeast Asia, the Middle East, South America, Africa, and other regions.

Cai Chunhua stated that many overseas Chinese are eager to purchase these fashion items with traditional Chinese elements. They will retain the original features while making improvements based on specific market conditions overseas. "This year's overseas orders are already scheduled until August!"

At this Canton Fair, textile companies from Dongguan have meticulously planned their booths. Inside the exhibition area, these companies have brought a series of new textile materials such as graphene, photochromic, thermochromic yarns, and eco-friendly cashmere.

"These green and environmentally friendly fabric products are very popular in our country," said Hussein, a buyer from the Middle East, expressing his admiration for the innovative fabrics from Guangdong companies.

Outside the Canton Fair venue, delegations from various countries are racing against time to visit various professional markets in Guangzhou.

The Liuhua Mall is a hub for clothing wholesale markets in Guangzhou. Recently, a delegation of about 30 people from ASEAN countries visited it.

During the visit, many buyers transformed into "shopping experts" and purchased clothes of various styles. "These designs are very innovative, and we can't resist buying them for ourselves!"

During the Canton Fair's break, a trade delegation of 22 representatives from Mexico explored the Liuhua Fashion Wholesale Market. Taking a flight of 18 hours to China, no one wants to miss such a rare opportunity.

"In South America, affordable clothing is available, but the clothing here is competitive in prices, of higher quality and better designs, and with a more unique style," said Tania, a Mexican buyer, after the visit.

广交会国际买手爱上“岭南衣”

第135届广交会第三期正在如火如荼地进行中。在本期广交会中，集中展示了玩具及孕婴童、时尚、家用纺织品、文具、健康休闲5大板块21个展区，其中家用纺织品板块展览面积6.6万平方米，展位3164个、参展企业1623家。

本届广交会纺织服装馆设男女装、运动服及休闲服、童装、内衣、服装饰物及配件、家用纺织品、纺织原料面料等七个展区，共9273个展位。中间品即纺织原料面料展位数量达到1159个，较上届增长5%。

在这个展区中，有不少来自广东的服饰企业。

展馆内，广东省纺织品进出口股份有限公司庄姿妮运营总监蔡春花身穿着马面裙，向来往的采购商们“种草”。今年，该公司带来了让人眼前一亮的马面裙，吸引来自东南亚、中东、南美和非洲等地区的采购商询盘。

蔡春花表示，许多海外华人希望采购这些具有国潮元素的服饰，他们会在保留原有特色的基础上，根据海外市场的具体情况进行改进，“今年的海外订单已经排到了8月份！”

在本届广交会上，来自东莞的毛织企业们也精心策划了展位。在展区内，这些企业带来了石墨烯、光变、温变纱线、生态羊绒等一系列纺织新材料。

“这些绿色、环保的面料产品，在我们国家很受欢迎。”来自中东的采购商侯赛因向记者表示，许多来自广东企业的新面料都让他们耳目一新。

在广交会的会场之外，来自各国的考察团们正在争分夺秒，到广州的各个专业市场考察。

流花商圈是广州的服装批发市场集中地，最近，一个约30人的东盟考察团，来到了广州著名的流花商圈。

在考察途中，不少采购商变身“扫货达人”，在现场买下了各种款式的衣服，“这些设计非常新颖，让我们忍不住都想买回去自己穿！”

在流花服装批发市场，一个由22名墨西哥企业代表组成的商贸团，正抓住广交会的间隙时间走入本地商圈。飞行18个小时来到中国，谁都不愿意错过这样难得的机会。

“在南美，我们也有便宜的服饰，但是这里的服饰不仅价格具有竞争力，还有着比我们更高的质量和更好的设计，风格更为独特。”在参观过后，墨西哥采购商塔妮娅说道。
