Denimsandjeans.com will organise India’s first denim show at the Silicon Valley, Bengaluru on September 25 and 26 this year.

The denim show will bring some of the most reputed denim mills including top local and international garment manufacturers, together on one platform.

"It gives me great pleasure to bring our show to India after successfully running it in Bangladesh and Vietnam. While we are already the second largest consumer of jeans today, we will see the market maturing substantially in terms of usage across regions. Our show aims to bring together the major stakeholders in the supply chain to come together and help in this process,” Sandeep Agarwal, Founder, Denimsandjeans.com, said in a statement.

Denim has been one of the main booming textile segments in India in the past decade. The capacity of Indian mills to produce denim fabrics has risen over 300%, reaching about 1.3 billion from 300 million meters in 2005, making India stand second only to China globally. Over 500 million jeans are being sold in India itself; which is a little more than the approximate 490 million jeans sold in US currently.

Key retailers, buying houses and factories from India as well as from Europe, South East Asia and USA are expected to visit this show.

Denimsanjdeans.com is a premium fashion website dedicated to the denim industry and has successfully hosted seven denim shows in Bangladesh and two in Vietnam.
