We're all about hospitality!  We enjoy creating a welcoming atmosphere for both buyers and exhibitors.  Our reps are top notch and buyers enjoy the convenience of shopping local.  The NW Trend Show is a professional show with great food and coffee.  PNAA produces the kinds of shows attendees can look forward to!

The NW Trend Show, presented by the Pacific Northwest Apparel Association, has been operating for more than 70 years. As the longest running west coast women’s wear show, we produce five shows a year, representing over 1000 lines – from women’s apparel, accessories and jewelry, to children’s, men’s, shoes and gift items.

 

Northwest reps are on-site to present their coveted lines and advise you of the latest trends and seasonal colors. This is an appointment driven show. Please feel free to reach out to any reps to make an appointment to see their lines.

Exhibitor information

Exhibitors at the NW Trend Show are primarily independent sales representatives, many of which carry a number of apparel or accessory lines. In addition, organizers welcome manufacturers to exhibit directly at its show.This is an order-writing show, where the product is shipped at a later date directly from the manufacturer, not cash and carry, where buyers take product from the exhibitor at the show.
