With the focus, “Local is the new International,” the 2018 fair celebrates international quality, local entrepreneurship, and artisanal art. Over 70 selected retailers will join the collective as it gears to bring offerings that, at times, are only available to the overseas buyer, or simply have no venue to present their work.
The participating brands include the following:
C&C
As a home and gifts lifestyle brand, C&C entwines the beauty and quality of local craftsmanship with the vitality of natural materials. With this, they will launch the Entwined collection of beauty with a purpose, aesthetic with practicality.

Interweave
