History

The federation was established in 1893 at a conference in Zürich. The following year, it established headquarters in Berlin, moving to Amsterdam in 1920. It held conferences in different European locations every three to four years. In 1925, the International Furriers' Secretariat merged into the organisation, giving the organisation 29 affiliates with a total of 315,000 members.[1]

The federation ceased to operate during World War II, but was re-established in 1946, based in London. In 1949, it was refounded as the International Garment Workers' Federation,[2] which in 1960 merged with the International Federation of Textile Workers' Associations to form the International Textile and Garment Workers' Federation.[3]
