Ahmedabad, India November 13, 2008 – Fibre2fashion - leading B2B portal on Textile-Apparel-Fashion industries that offers elite Business and Information services in form of a horde of its service models have now geared up to present the global Handloom & Handicraft sector - a taste of globalization and 24X7 coverage.

Textile production commenced with Handloom, and the passage of time has not lessened the role of the industry completely. The industry continues to be as a partner with the mill sector and the handicraft sector. Spinning, Handloom, Power loom, and Garment are the four pillars of the Textile sector.

Fibre2fashion, which covers an entire chain of the allied industries as well as its sub-sectors in the Textile-Apparel vertical – now houses a very dedicated section on Handloom & Handicraft that plays the most vital role since ages since man started understanding the need for clothing.

Handloom is still the most flexible, decentralized and the least capital and energy requiring livelihood option. Over the time, Handloom & Handicraft has evolved as an independent branch in itself. Expanding Handloom & Handicraft markets indicates that the production of Handloom fabrics is estimated to be 6,188 million sq-mts., almost 16 percent as contribution of Handloom sector in the total textiles market. Five decades back, India was one among the top most textile exporters in the world. Now China has bagged the major chunk of the global textile market. The mark of originality will help our exporters to sell original Handloom & Handicraft products abroad. This will in turn help the traditional weavers all over the country get a better price for their product.

With the launch of Handloom & Handicrafts as an independent section of fibre2fashion, it becomes imperative to locate and publish news and information that can reach from the innovators to the users, on time, through the space devoted for Handloom & Handicrafts. The section would cater information pieces in form of key news, information-rich articles and extensive researched industrial reports.
