Manila FAME 2026 will take place from October 15 to 17, 2026, at the World Trade Center Metro Manila in the Philippines. Established in 1983, the trade show showcases Philippine design across home, fashion and lifestyle products, connecting international buyers with local manufacturers, designers, MSMEs and artisan communities. The 2026 edition, presented under the creative direction “Bloom,” draws inspiration from the Philippines’ natural landscapes, flora, fauna and indigenous materials while highlighting contemporary applications of traditional craftsmanship. More than 350 exhibitors and over 10,000 visitors are expected to participate.
The exhibition covers home décor, furniture, fashion, accessories, gifts, handcrafted products, architectural components and lifestyle collections. Design Commune brings designers and manufacturers together to develop market-ready products influenced by organic forms and natural environments, while Home at FAME presents new concepts combining contemporary design with Philippine cultural storytelling. The Artisans Village highlights regional craftsmanship using materials such as natural fibres, fossilised leaves and wood, giving professional buyers access to products rooted in different parts of the country.
Additional platforms broaden the event’s sourcing and design focus. FASHIONPhilippines presents collections developed through international design programmes, while Philippine Components showcases coverings, parts and fittings for architecture and interior applications. Manila FAME is complemented by FAME+, a digital sourcing platform that extends exhibitor visibility and B2B connections beyond the physical show. Organised by the Center for International Trade Expositions and Missions (CITEM), the event continues to connect Philippine creative industries with international buyers and design markets.
