Visa
Plan the Islamabad interview
France decides all visas from Pakistan in Islamabad, and every applicant attends in person. For a January fair, book the appointment in October or November, using the new online platform that opens on 16 November 2026. Teams from Faisalabad, Lahore and Karachi should plan the journey to Islamabad.
Hotels
Le Bourget or central Paris
Le Bourget is closer to Charles de Gaulle than to central Paris. Hotels near CDG or in the northern suburbs save time; a central hotel suits teams with buyer meetings in the city.
Buyers
What brands ask
European brands ask about certified cotton, chemical compliance, social audits and traceability. Bring certificates and fabric swatches with clear price and lead-time information.
Pakistan pavilion
Exhibiting with other Pakistani mills
Pakistani mills often exhibit together at Texworld, which makes them easy for buyers to find but also puts competitors side by side. Stand out with a clear speciality, such as sustainable denim, organic cotton or recycled blends, and with lead times buyers can trust. Follow up within a week of the show.
Texworld sits within a wider Paris textile week, with sourcing and fabric shows running at nearby venues around the same dates. Buyers often visit several shows in one trip, so ask your target brands which events they will attend.
- Lead with a clear speciality
- Show realistic lead times
- Follow up within a week
