Go Global – international Handicrafts and Craft Supplies

We are proud to do justice to the international character of the DIY and crafts community as a trade fair that is in demand worldwide. For years, the h+h cologne has acted as the melting pot of the DIY sector, where international manufacturers and trade visitors from at last 80 countries can meet, exchange ideas and network in a more diverse way than at any other comparable trade fair.

Also in this years edition, the focus will once again be on exchange. You can look forward to the latest trends and products from all over the world.

• International marketplace - unique in the industry
• Annual increase in visitor numbers
• Experience top brands exclusively
• Order products for your own range directly

The h+h cologne is characterised by a wide-ranging variety of international products for handicrafts and hobbies. These include:

• Home textiles
• Yarns
• Haberdashery
• Machines for textile handicrafts

Suppliers, specialist retailers, mail-order companies and buying cooperatives from 80 countries recently joined forces to discuss the most important topics in the sector, such as ecological production, sales promotion or new needlework techniques.

A big trend among the products are sustainable fabrics, such as organic cotton or recycled yarns, which can be used to create environmentally conscious and at the same time trendy clothing of high quality. Manufacturers and suppliers of handicraft goods can show their new products to international retailers at the h+h cologne at the optimum time for ordering.

As an international trade fair for everything to do with crafts and craft supplies, the h+h cologne also offers the ideal digital meeting place for the handicrafts industry. Trade visitors from the retail and wholesale trade, associations and schools as well as the mail-order trade have the opportunity to order their goods from a versatile range with new trends for the coming autumn/winter collection at the optimal time.

Thanks to blogs, video platforms and social media, the handicraft community is globally networked. At h+h cologne @home 2021, we are doing the same and bringing manufacturers and retailers together on a digital platform that promises international reach, lively networking and new input. Sustainable materials, old, newly discovered techniques or clever sales promotion campaigns from the international Arts and Crafts sector await you.
