HDIF works tirelessly to create and market high quality handicrafts from womens organisations around Armenia - and we are getting GOOD at it!
For the 4th year in a row, HDIF participated in the Ambiente fair in Frankfurt Germany. With over 4500 exhibitors there, there was only ONE from Armenia....HDIF!
Our simple display of brightly colored, high quality crocheted products attracted MANY interested clients - hardly a moment's rest! Concrete inquiries were gotten from Denmark, Sweden, the Netherlands, Germany, France, Switzerland, Italy and New Zealand. Finger puppets made in Berd were by far the most popular items. Already concrete orders are flowing in....Denmark and Switzerland were the first ones to get their confirmed orders to us.
This fair proved that HDIF can compete in an international market with our fine designs and quality. We have positioned ourselves correctly.
This means that in particular our producer partners in Berd and Gyumri are going to be VERY BUSY this year! We are hoping to increase capacity in not only those two places, but also in Talin, Goris and Kapan.
2019 looks very promising for HDIF! Thanks for your support.
