HABI: The Philippine Textile Council is now welcoming applications for new vendors to join the 16th Likhang HABI Market Fair, happening on October 9–11, 2026 at SPACE One Ayala in Makati City. This much-anticipated annual event continues to celebrate Philippine handwoven textiles and handcrafted goods, while giving artisans, designers, social enterprises, and creative entrepreneurs a vibrant space to grow their audience.
For over a decade, the Likhang HABI Market Fair has been a beloved gathering that highlights the richness of Filipino textile heritage and the creativity of local makers. Each year, it brings together a dynamic mix of weavers, brands, and artisans who transform indigenous and locally sourced fibers into meaningful, beautifully crafted products.
HABI invites applications from groups, cooperatives, families, and small to medium enterprises whose work showcases Philippine natural fibers and traditional weaves such as piña, abaca, locally grown cotton, inabel, and more. The fair looks for vendors who value quality craftsmanship, thoughtful design, sustainability, and a deep respect for the country’s weaving traditions.
Over the years, HABI has helped many homegrown brands expand their reach—some growing from small community initiatives into established businesses, while others have found opportunities in international markets. By connecting makers directly with buyers, collectors, designers, and advocates, the fair continues to strengthen appreciation for locally made products and support the growth of the creative industry.

Now on its 16th year, the Likhang HABI Market Fair is eager to welcome new exhibitors from across the Philippines. Whether you’re part of a weaving community, a social enterprise, an emerging label, or an artisan collective, this is a chance to be part of a community that celebrates Filipino craftsmanship and innovation.
In addition to individual booths, HABI will once again feature its dedicated HABI Booth — a shared space for weaving communities and small enterprises that may not yet have the resources to participate independently. This initiative provides sponsored exposure, giving talented artisans the opportunity to present their work to a wider audience of buyers and supporters.
More than just a marketplace, the Likhang HABI Market Fair is a space where stories of culture, heritage, and creativity come to life through every handmade piece. It’s an opportunity to build connections, share your craft, and be part of a movement that values authenticity, sustainability, and Filipino artistry.
