Handicrafts
We have two main focuses in the handicrafts programme: on the one hand classic giftware and personal accessories, on the other, interior design, that is decoration commodities made of the most different materials, wherever possible ecological products, produced using local materials and fair trade. The sector’s trend is back to conscious and sophisticated shopping. Purchasers are tending to a higher sensibility concerning production locations, which affects our promoted companies in a positive way. Our trade promotion instruments are trade fair participations at Ambiente in Frankfurt (Germany), pairing, sector overviews and individual consulting.
