Description

Are you an importer of handicrafts, unique textiles and other artwork? Are you a designer of creative and unique products?
TFO Canada invites you to its first ever Artisan Hub Exhibition in Toronto on October 21, 2016. Artisan Hub is an exhibition showcasing the textiles, home décor and garments sectors!
The exhibition will feature specialty textiles and fabrics, home décor items and garments of producers/artisans from Bangladesh, Cambodia, Ethiopia, Haiti, Lesotho, Madagascar, Nepal and Uganda.
