Our first trade fair: avonté x INNATEX

Wow, an exciting week lies behind us!

From 20 to 22.07.24 the time had come: with avonté we've been the first time as an exhibitor at a B2B trade fair. It was a pretty exciting experience for us as a young start-up, as the retail sector is still a fairly new business area for us.

So off we went to INNATEX near Frankfurt. The largest trade and order fair for sustainable textiles offers over 300 exhibitors the opportunity to present their products to visitors and buyers. We were lucky enough to be presented alongside other newcomers in the 'Design Discoveries' section.

And so we presented our products and told the story behind avonté at what was probably the smallest booth at the trade fair. We are particularly proud of the fact that avonté is a female-founded start-up that stands for sustainability with a great deal of passion and commitment. After almost eight months on the market, this was our first trade fair stand - a major milestone for us.

The three days on site were exhausting and super instructive. In addition to an exciting panel talk in which Pia took part, the direct feedback from the retailers and the networking with other brands and other exciting contacts, it has once again strengthened our conviction that we are on the right track.

Even though the whole thing cost us a lot of energy, we are incredibly grateful for the experience and the positive feedback we received. The conversations with visitors and the new connections we were able to make are priceless.

We are already looking forward to the next steps and are excited to see where the journey with avonté will take us. We'll keep you up to date ;)

Until then,

à vontade - make yourselves feel at home!
