April Buying Week is debuting next month, allowing buyers to discover new showrooms, exhibits, and more for the Fall 2025 season. Held from April 1-4 at AmericasMart Atlanta, the event will include offerings from Atlanta Apparel, Formal Markets, and the Spring Gift & Home Market. Below, we’re breaking down everything you need to know before you visit April Buying Week this spring!
Why is April Buying Week Taking Place?
April Buying Week was established to meet greater buyer demand for fashion and home goods within one place. The inaugural event was designed to accommodate mid-season retail restocking, as well as continue introducing ANDMORE’s wide market roster—which includes Atlanta Apparel, Formal Markets, and the Spring Gift & Home Market—to new audiences.
“With demand high for mid-market restocks of home and gift items and the debut of Autumn/Winter ‘25 and footwear collections, along with the seasonal demand for homecoming and formalwear, April Buying Week was a purpose-built opportunity to highlight all categories that AmericasMart Atlanta has to offer,” said ANDMORE CEO Jon Pertchik in a statement. “By bringing together three complementary markets, we’ve created an efficient, all-in-one sourcing experience that maximizes buying opportunities across categories.”
