KMN Environmental Impact at Autumn Fair 2026, Birmingham: From Local Impact to Global Opportunity
Autumn Fair 2026 at NEC Birmingham marked an important milestone in KMN Environmental Impact Pvt. Ltd.’s journey from local circular innovation to global market opportunity.
Held from 6–9 September 2026, Autumn Fair brought together 13,000+ trade buyers and 800+ exhibitors across Home, Gift and Fashion, providing a significant international platform for brands and suppliers to connect with retail decision-makers. The wider Autumn Fair and Glee co-location on 8–9 September brought the combined audience to 20,000+ buyers and more than 1,200 exhibitors, creating one of the major retail sourcing opportunities of the second half of the year.
For KMN Environmental Impact, participation at Autumn Fair was an opportunity to present our circular-economy proposition and flagship brands RagBag®️ and FabRag™️ to an international B2B audience.
A Proud Moment at Our Stand
One of the most memorable moments of the exhibition was the visit of Dr. Venkatachalam Murugan, Hon’ble Consul General of India in Birmingham, to our stall, in the presence of Dr. Sanjiv Layek, Executive Secretary, WASME.
As a representation of our circular innovation and as a token of our gratitude, we had the privilege of presenting Dr. Murugan with two of our signature creations:
💼 RagBag®️ Laptop Bag — demonstrating how discarded textiles can be transformed into functional, contemporary and sustainable lifestyle products.
♻️ FabRag™️ Kaleidoscopic Hoodie — showcasing our approach to transforming recovered textile materials into distinctive, contemporary circular fashion.
For a women-led Indian circular-economy enterprise taking its products to international markets, the visit and encouragement of the Hon’ble Consul General was a particularly proud moment.
From Local to Global
Our presence at Autumn Fair represents an important transition in the KMN journey—from building impact through our work in India to actively developing international B2B relationships, export opportunities and global market access.
Autumn Fair provided access to buyers from independent retailers, online businesses, department stores, wholesalers, museum and gallery shops, visitor attractions and other retail businesses. The event is specifically designed to enable exhibitors to meet purchase-ready buyers, develop industry relationships and generate wholesale orders.
For KMN, the objective was therefore not simply to showcase products, but to introduce the RagBag®️ and FabRag™️ circular proposition to potential international retail, wholesale, distribution, private-label and strategic partners.
The journey continues:
Local Circular Innovation → International B2B Connect → Export Opportunities → Global Market Access
