“Designer-Maker” and “Handmade in the USA” Systems Facilitate Shopping
Now in its second year, the “designer-maker” identification system will return to the Handmade division to help buyers source and shop companies with individually hand-crafted work rather than production craft.
“Craft retailers recognize the distinct advantages of selling one-of-kind pieces, so they appreciate the ease of locating designer-makers on the show floor,” added Belshaw.
The “Handmade in the USA” designation also will be utilized at the Fair as a buyer's aid to source American-made craft. Booth and show floor signage will identify exhibitors offering U.S.-produced merchandise.
Handmade presents some 575 craft exhibitors on two levels of the Javits Center. For more than 20 years, Handmade has offered buyers an extensive, juried selection of handcrafted items across such categories as tabletop, ceramics, textiles, home décor, jewelry and apparel.
NYIGF is the nation's premier gift, home and lifestyle marketplace, with 2,900 exhibiting companies featuring an extraordinary breadth and depth of design-driven home fashion products and complementary giftware. Some 30,000 attendees from all 50 states and around the world are expected.
