UKFT is the largest network for fashion and textiles in the UK. As the industry’s leading trade association and Sector Skills Body, we are committed to delivering sustainable growth for the entire UK fashion and textile supply chain.

We bring together brands, designers, manufacturers, suppliers, retailers, recyclers, educators and innovators to promote their businesses and our industry, both in the UK and throughout the world.

We offer practical advice and technical support to help member companies grow and trade internationally. We provide support to help businesses comply with UK and international regulations, offering guidance on areas including labelling, safety standards, sustainability, trade rules and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR).

With a growing focus on sustainability and innovation, UKFT is driving meaningful action in the transition to a circular economy. We are now working with reuse and recycling specialists to build the most comprehensive network driving sustainable change from fibre to final lifecycle.

We work to elevate the skills of the UK fashion and textile industry to maintain our competitive position for the future.

We support businesses with complex global supply chains, as well as helping to drive a resilient and innovative UK manufacturing sector.
