“Businesspersons from all over the world will take part in the world’s largest wholesale textile market in south India through ‘Weaves,’ a premier textile fair to be held in Erode between November 27 and 30.

Madurai’s weavers will have a great platform to connect with a global audience,” said C. Devarajan, vice-chairman of Texvalley, an integrated textile shopping mall located in Erode.

He told a press conference here on Monday that the event would focus on promoting powerloom and handlooms. Over 250 exhibitors would showcase their distinct products from different parts of Tamil Nadu, he added.

The second edition of ‘Weaves,’ which would highlight processed and finished fabrics, home textiles, textile machinery as well as ethnic, handloom and khadi material, would be of great use to the 90 weaving clusters in the State, Mr. Devarajan added.

Nagaraj Krishnan, chairman, CII Madurai, said the event would be a big opportunity for Madurai’s textile industry to showcase its valuable assets.
