Come and shop for unique handicrafts, textiles, jewellery, homeware, clothes, accessories, gifts, art and food from different regions of Asia at our hugely popular annual Fair, which is now in its seventh year. Asia House’s magnificent London headquarters, just north of Oxford Street, will transform into a bustling souk-like bazaar from 19 to 22 March 2015.

Original and ethically-sourced items on sale this year include vintage kimonos from Japan; beautifully crafted paper products, accessories, bedspreads and scarves from across the region; throws, jewellery, quilts, cushions, linen, tablecloths, kaftan tops, velvet jackets and bags from India; beautiful hand-embroidered bed covers, cushions and throws from Bangladesh; steel Japanese bonsai tools and nail nippers; handwoven scarves from Laos; Pakistani embroidered cushions; antique textiles, bedspreads, tablecloths, jackets and bags from Rajasthan; suzanis (Uzbek embroideries); hand-made shoes, bags and rugs from Turkey and cotton and velvet coats from Turkmenistan. Many of the stallholders have a unique story to tell about the communities they source their products from.
It’s also not just about shopping, it’s an entire day out! London caterer Paul Bloomfield will serve a range of snacks, cakes and refreshments to shoppers in our first ever pop-up café in the Asia House Gallery throughout the Fair’s duration.
