The MAGIC Marketplace - to be held at the Las Vegas Convention Center on 16th-19th August - has become established as one of the international fashion industry's leading shows, attracting global buyers and sellers of men's, women's and children's apparel, footwear and accessories. SATRA will be exhibiting in the SOURCING at MAGIC hall to discuss with retail buyers and sourcing agents the importance of product testing on footwear and apparel, in order to meet legislation and avoid litigation
Held every February and August, the event is divided into nine distinct collections: MAGIC Menswear, WWD MAGIC (womenswear), PROJECT (influential contemporary brands), POOLTRADESHOW (boutique market), S.L.A.T.E. (surf, skate and street fashion), STREET (contemporary sportswear), FN PLATFORM (recent footwear additions), PREMIUM (premium and contemporary men's and women's collections), and SOURCING at MAGIC (marketed as an international business platform offering one-stop shopping for the entire apparel supply chain).
SATRA will also be exhibiting in the USA at the NE Apparel & Footwear Materials Show at the Crown Plaza, Boston North Shore on September 7th-8th. This event was established in 2005 as an opportunity for materials and components suppliers to meet with the region's apparel and footwear manufacturers. Visitors attending this exhibition will receive a warm welcome from SATRA at booth 700.
