Anbievolution and Circlo make a successful debut at Texpremium London

The Sustainable Textile & Apparel From PORTUGAL project, promoted by ATP, is accompanying five companies at another edition of Texpremium London. Anbievolution, Bloomati, LEMAR, Circlo and Troficolor Denim Makers have been exhibiting since yesterday and until today in Shoreditch, a new location that has been well received by both exhibitors and clients.

T Jornal spoke this Tuesday with Anbievolution, which indicated that contacts were flowing naturally. “It’s the first time we are taking part in Texpremium. The morning went well and it is exceeding expectations,” said André Andrade, manager. “It’s a different location from other trade fairs, it feels like a shop,” he added, confirming that clients have been commenting positively on the change and that many have stopped to discover the company’s proposals.

Anbievolution continues to expand and refine its premium collection, focusing on innovative circular knits and highlighting as a key strength its ability to produce relatively small orders quickly and with quality. This debut at Texpremium was driven by the growing demand for differentiated products—a demand the company is able to meet. The strategy has increasingly focused on premium raw materials such as merino wool and linen. “The brands are here, we’ve already received some; on the second day we will certainly receive more,” he concludes.

Circlo is also making its debut at Texpremium, and the feedback shared by Olga Soares at the end of the first day likewise reflects a positive experience. “We are positioned at the entrance and exit, which has been good. People are curious and stop to look at the stand, and we also have a broad view of the entire space. It’s our first time participating; the space feels cozy, more personal, everything is close together, in a relaxed atmosphere. Although we have no point of comparison with previous editions, we can see that people feel at ease and we’ve had some contacts,” summarizes the business developer.

CIRCLO’s materials represent much more than a simple knit or jersey. They are the result of a concept that gives real value to what would otherwise be lost. The company recovers waste that would have no use and transforms it into premium raw materials with renewed aesthetics and high performance. New sustainable dyeing and finishing techniques are being developed, alongside the preparation of a collection that combines organic and recycled materials, ranging from more trend-driven fashion pieces to essential basics.

Circlo also told T Jornal that visitors to the fair showed appreciation for this investment in ensuring alternatives to textile waste, recognizing the potential of these materials—partly thanks to the finished garments brought as examples.

Visitors to the fair include not only UK brands and British buyers, but also representatives from other key geographies for consolidating the companies’ presence in international markets. Several agents working with brands are also attending Texpremium for sourcing activities.

In a final note, Olga Soares highlights that 2025 has been a year of affirmation for Circlo: it is a recent project that has been gaining visibility, and these presences at international trade fairs have helped to broaden the reach of its work.
