About RNMP – Rodada de Negócios da Moda em Pernambuco (42ª edição)
Overview
RNMP – Rodada de Negócios da Moda em Pernambuco is a professional B2B fashion trade show held in Caruaru, Pernambuco, bringing together hundreds of apparel, footwear and accessories brands with qualified wholesale buyers from across Brazil in a concentrated three-day order-writing event focused on the upcoming season’s collections. Organized by the Associação Comercial e Empresarial de Caruaru (ACIC) in co-organization with Sebrae Pernambuco, RNMP is recognized as one of the leading commercial fashion platforms in the North and Northeast of Brazil, emphasizing concrete business generation, regional industry promotion, and national market access for Pernambuco’s fashion production.
What to Expect
Participants at the 42ª Rodada de Negócios da Moda em Pernambuco (RNMP) can expect a highly focused B2B fashion marketplace that prioritizes order closing and relationship-building over end-consumer attraction. Over three days, the event brings together more than 200 fashion brands and manufacturers from Pernambuco and other states, distributed in a professional fair layout at Polo Caruaru, which offers around 10,000 m² of exhibition area in recent editions. Exhibitors present complete collections for the upcoming season—such as spring/summer or high summer—covering key segments like women’s, men’s and children’s apparel, jeanswear, lingerie, beachwear, fitness, accessories and footwear. The show is designed to favor efficient buying journeys. Buyers are pre-registered and segmented, so meetings, showroom visits and negotiations can be scheduled in a compact format that allows a large volume of orders to be placed in a short period. The environment is business-oriented, with an emphasis on product presentation, pricing, payment conditions and delivery logistics, rather than catwalk shows for the general public. RNMP also offers a structured experience for exhibitors. Companies can choose between different stand formats and participation areas, including PE que Cresce (for brands participating for the first time and seeking national visibility), Estandes Tradicionais (for consolidated wholesale brands), and InoveTex, dedicated to suppliers of the textile chain, technology, inputs and services. This segmentation helps buyers find both finished products and supply-chain partners within the same event, turning RNMP into a compact ecosystem for fashion sourcing. Visitors can additionally count on support in travel and lodging, with an official travel agency and guidance provided on the event website to facilitate access to Caruaru and Polo Caruaru. The fair’s professional accreditation process, based on CNPJ and CNAE verification, ensures that the audience is genuinely composed of trade professionals, which tends to raise the quality and conversion rate of negotiations for both buyers and exhibitors. Beyond direct business, the event functions as a networking and trend intelligence hub for the regional fashion market. By bringing together entrepreneurs, suppliers, consultants and institutional partners such as Sebrae-PE and ACIC, RNMP creates a space for exchanging experiences, identifying new partnerships and mapping consumer and retail trends in Brazilian fashion.
Who Should Attend
RNMP is especially relevant for professionals and companies that operate in fashion wholesale, retail and the textile supply chain and seek to buy or sell collections in a structured B2B environment. • Multi-brand fashion store owners and buyers who need to renew their mix with apparel, jeanswear, lingerie, beachwear, fitness, accessories and footwear for the upcoming season, with the advantage of negotiating directly with manufacturers and brands in a single trip. • Wholesalers, distributors, marketplaces and e‑commerce operations looking for competitive sourcing from the North and Northeast, with access to regional manufacturers that offer differentiated design and advantageous commercial conditions. • Fashion brands and manufacturers that wish to expand their presence among retailers across Brazil, especially those based in Pernambuco and neighboring states that want to strengthen or open new commercial channels through intensive order generation during the three days of the fair. • Suppliers to the textile and fashion industry—such as fabric producers, trim and accessory suppliers, printing and laundry services, technology and software companies—who can exhibit in the InoveTex area and connect with a concentrated audience of fashion manufacturers and brands. • Agents, representatives and showrooms seeking new brands or territories, as well as opportunities to represent regional labels in other Brazilian markets. • Business development institutions and consultants focused on fashion, retail and small business competitiveness, interested in monitoring trends, building partnerships and supporting their client companies in commercial expansion. Due to its professional profile and requirement for CNPJ and fashion-related CNAE at accreditation, RNMP is not aimed at end consumers, but rather at decision-makers responsible for buying, sourcing and commercial strategy in the fashion sector.
Why It Matters
RNMP – Rodada de Negócios da Moda em Pernambuco is significant because it operates as a strategic commercial platform for the fashion industry in the North and Northeast of Brazil, concentrating in Caruaru a level of business generation that would otherwise require multiple trips and negotiations across different regions. By assembling hundreds of brands and a qualified professional buyer audience in a single, time-bound event, RNMP reduces transaction costs, shortens negotiation cycles and accelerates the introduction of new collections to the market. For regional fashion production, the fair plays a central role in integrating Pernambuco’s clothing and textile clusters into the national market. Caruaru and its surroundings are important hubs for apparel manufacturing, and RNMP gives local brands direct access to buyers from several Brazilian states, helping diversify their customer portfolios and reduce dependence on informal or low-margin channels. At the same time, the presence of exhibitors from other regions creates a competitive environment that encourages product, design and service improvement. The event’s focus on B2B and CNPJ-verified buyers also matters from a quality and professionalization standpoint. The accreditation criteria, based on CNPJ and CNAE appropriate to the fashion segment, tend to filter the audience so that the majority of visitors are actual buyers and decision-makers, which increases the conversion of contacts into firm orders and supports more predictable sales planning for exhibitors. In addition, RNMP is a relevant ecosystem connector: it is organized by ACIC in co-organization with Sebrae Pernambuco, institutions that support entrepreneurship, innovation and SME competitiveness. Their involvement usually brings additional actions in training, consulting and business promotion to the event’s orbit, multiplying its impact beyond the three days of the fair. Finally, by dedicating space such as PE que Cresce and InoveTex to first-time brands and industry suppliers, RNMP not only supports established players, but also fosters new entrants and innovation in the fashion and textile chain. This contributes to renewing the sector’s business base, encouraging formalization and stimulating the adoption of new technologies and processes in regional manufacturing. All of these elements make RNMP an important reference point on the Brazilian fashion trade show calendar, especially for companies seeking to strengthen or initiate commercial relationships with the productive and retail ecosystem of the Northeast.
