The Export Promotion Council for Handicrafts will take a group of Indian crafts and accessories businesses to Italy to showcase their goods at the AF-L’Artigiano International Crafts Selling Exhibition.

The AF-L’Artigiano International Crafts Selling Exhibition, which will run from November 30 to December 8, in Fiera, Milan, will host a group of Indian businesses in its India Pavilion. The upcoming edition will be the event’s 24th and will feature businesses from around the world.

As part of its efforts to promote micro, small, and medium enterprises internationally, the EPCH will take a group of Indian businesses to the fair in Italy this winter to network and build export links in the European market. Some of the product categories that will be represented at the AF-L’Artigiano fair include fashion jewellery, fashion accessories, scarves and shawls, handbags, handicrafts, homewares, gift items, and home textiles. 

The fair is business-to-business orientated but also allows retail sale. The event will take place at the Fieramilano Rho-Pero in Fiera, Milan, and is organised by Ge.Fi. S.p.a. All of the Indian businesses that attend the fair with the EPCH will be located in the India Pavilion at the fair and are only permitted to retail and display goods made in India.
