Handicraft trade fairs
Where craft buying actually happens, from the large European ordering shows to producer-country sourcing fairs. Dates and hall allocations move every year, so each row opens a live result rather than a stored calendar.

Using a fair well
- Producer-country fairs are for finding workshops; European ordering fairs are for reading the market.
- Ask at the stand who actually makes the goods, and how far that workshop is from the exhibitor’s office.
- Photograph limit samples at the stand, with a scale reference, before agreeing anything.
- Confirm your selling market’s compliance regime before committing at a fair, not after.
