h+h cologne Cologne

The "h+h cologne" is an internationally leading trade fair, specialized in crafts and hobbies. Serving as a central platform, it provides an overview of the latest innovations and trends in textile design. Held annually at the renowned Cologne exhibition center, it opens its doors exclusively to industry professionals.

Organized by Koelnmesse GmbH, one of Germany's largest trade fair companies known for its expertise in organizing major events, the h+h cologne acts as a global meeting point for the crafts industry, where exhibitors from areas such as knitting, crocheting, embroidery, sewing, and crafting showcase their innovations.

The h+h cologne is distinguished by its diversity: market leaders and small-scale manufacturers present their latest products and industry trends. It offers a platform for attendees to gain insights into the latest products and services and to establish direct business contacts.

A highlight is the high-quality accompanying program, including a fashion show by the Handarbeit initiative, which presents upcoming trends. Workshops and special exhibitions on various crafting techniques and products enhance the fair's offerings.

Since 2014, "My lovely livingroom" has enriched the fair, an event area where handmade home accessories are displayed. Visitors find inspiration and practical guidance on combining materials and techniques for personalized living.

The fair benefits from Cologne's infrastructure and hospitality, with its modernly equipped and centrally located exhibition center being ideal for the h+h cologne and significantly contributing to its international success.
