Over 350 unique and creative handicrafts from Hanoi will be displayed in an area of approximately 500m2.

This is the third event in a series of exhibitions organized by the Hanoi Department of Industry and Trade at 176 Quang Trung Street, Ha Dong District.

The fair aims to help bamboo, rattan, and grass weavers and producers in Hanoi connect with leading artisan communities, share experiences, and translate designs into actual production for domestic consumption and export.

At the opening ceremony on August 1, Deputy Director of the Industrial Promotion and Development Consultancy Center (under the Hanoi Department of Industry and Trade) Hoang Quan said the exhibition aims to strengthen links between designers, artisans, producers, and distributors.

This is an opportunity for those interested in the handicraft industry, especially bamboo, rattan, and grass weaving, to learn about the history of the craft and experience the production process.
