The event aims to showcase marketable home textiles, sustainable fashion, accessories, and creative paper jewelry and offer them directly for sale. A professional jury, evaluating craftsmanship quality and design originality, selects the participants, thereby creating a diverse offering for visitors from Schleswig-Holstein and beyond.
