One of the largest international B2B trade fairs for home and contract textiles, Heimtextil is a show I never miss as a textile consultant. I attended the 2023 fair this year with two hats on: sourcing for my high-end clientele, and analyzing thousands of offerings for incoming design trends to help my subscribers do their best work.
