Discover Creamoda

The professional federation for the Belgian clothing and fashion sector.

Who are we?

+ Vision - Creamoda makes possible what you cannot do alone. We believe that as a sector we are stronger by working together, based on shared industry knowledge, in a rapidly changing and complex world.

+ Mission - Creamoda wants to be the proactive engine of the sector. We connect, align, and share knowledge, and translate this into targeted advocacy for the Belgian fashion and clothing sector, ensuring that sustainable, feasible, and profitable business operations remain possible in Belgium.

We put this into practice through three core tasks 

Lobbying


We represent and advocate the clothing and fashion sector in Belgium and Europe.

By translating challenges and needs into clear positionswe focus on:

workable regulationspreservation of profitability
+ fair competition

and thus we help shape the policy.




The themes we stand for

Social consultation


Together with social partners, we conclude for PC 109 & 215 workable collective agreements that provide clarity, uniformity, and social peace within the sector.

Thanks to ongoing consultations, we remain closely aligned with the labor law and the economic reality of our companies, and the interaction between both.

As a director of IVOC and the Social Fund for Clothing we also represent the sector's interests from the employer's side.


What does that mean for your business?

Knowledge & innovation center

As a bridge-builder we connect knowledge, experience, and innovation within an active community around: 
Product & Operations
+ Sustainability
+ Int. Entrepreneurship & Legal
+  Social law & PC 109-215

As the first point of contact, we support our members with practical advice, solutions, expertise, or a targeted referral to the right partner.

Where knowledge connects

For whom?

Your diversity - our strength!
From fashion and workwear to non-clothing applications. 

Creamoda offers sector knowledge, unites and connects Belgian clothing companies that are active in Cut-Make-Trim (PC 109-215). From the moment you cut a piece of fabric and turn it into a product, we’re here to help.

+ Think of the production of men's, women's, children's, outerwear and underwear & accessories, repair of such items, retail and wholesale, manufacturing of workwear and uniforms, household linens and bedding, flooring and curtains, design of textile patterns, production of tents, flags, banners, sails, etc. And this regardless of whether the production takes place domestically or abroad. 

+ From micro-enterprises and SMEs to macro-organizations.  

We approach each company depending on the subsector and size, as the focus may differ in terms of advocacy, social dialogue, or in strengthening knowledge, innovation, and community.
