Support Local: Likhang HABI Market Fair 2020 Goes Online

A pioneer in artisan fairs and local textile advocacy showcasing ethical products that are proudly Pinoy!

For the first time since 2009, the Likhang HABI Market Fair will be held online. The annual fair, usually done at the Glorietta Activity Center in Makati, will go live from October 21 to 27 on their website. This way, artisans and weavers can utilize this new platform to promote their creations without the risk of contact amid a pandemic.

Despite the lack of social interaction, the online fair will serve as an advantage to reach out to potential buyers beyond the Philippines. Now, the rest of the globe can experience a taste of our culture through handmade curated pieces. 

The physical fair will be missed, but the e-commerce platform will be just as meaningful! Customers will have full access to everything, from accessories and merchandise to home goods and textiles.

Why shop Likhang HABI? HABI supports local farmers and weavers in order to preserve indigenous cultures. Their role has always been to educate consumers on the weaving industry. They place emphasis on its important historical contribution to our society. 

The market fair gathers practitioners who encourage the younger generation to partake in cultural activities. HABI reminds us that it is imperative for the youth to serve as role models amongst their peers to understand that traditional crafts are more than just a trend.
