Première Vision Paris is one of the world's leading trade fairs for the fashion and textile industry, held at Paris Nord Villepinte. The September 2026 edition runs 1-3 September 2026, having moved back to a September slot. Organised by Première Vision, the fair gathers around 1,300 exhibitors, weavers, tanners, accessory and manufacturing suppliers, and draws an international audience of designers, buyers and product developers sourcing materials for upcoming fashion seasons.
Première Vision is a sourcing fair built around materials and meetings, which gives its stands a particular character. Exhibitors present fabrics, leathers, yarns and accessories through sample displays, browsing rails and consultation tables, so stands prioritise good lighting for assessing colour and texture, organised sample presentation and comfortable meeting space for buyer discussions. The environment is professional and design-led, since buyers are judging material quality at close range.
The fair occupies the Villepinte halls organised by product type, from fabrics and leather to accessories and manufacturing, so placement within the right area matters to reaching relevant buyers. Paris Nord Villepinte connects to central Paris and Charles de Gaulle Airport via the RER B line, easing access, while load-in runs through the venue's dock schedule. The venue's technical rules apply. Given the emphasis on material presentation, exhibitors confirm stand design and placement well ahead.
For companies exhibiting at Première Vision, a builder with Paris and Villepinte experience is a practical advantage: material-sourcing stands need careful lighting and sample-display construction, and local knowledge of the venue's logistics and approved contractors reduces risk during a key sourcing week in the fashion calendar.
