Concept

The Vimonisha Private Collection is a much awaited exhibition of Indian couture, pret wear, precious
and fashion jewellery , accessories and home lifestyle products. Organised and promoted by Vimonisha
Exhibitions, it has earned the reputation of promoting the best handpicked talented designers in the country.

 

The concept of Vimonisha Private Collection is to assimilate a range of designers in Pret wear, jewellery, hand bags, footwear and accessories and showcase their products to a captive audience of B2B and B2C visitors with actual buying power. Apart from the high end segment of ladies that visit the exhibitions each time, we also invite owners and merchandisers from boutiques, lifestyle stores, export houses, and wholesalers, so that our participating designers can start a dialogue with them , establish contacts for franchises, and wholesaling as well, in addition to the retail sale. We help to introduce them to the larger boutiques, so that they may create a supply chain to them as well. The idea is to make the designers visit to Chennai worthwhile as apart from selling at the exhibition, they can also expand their business with the local shops and boutiques as well.

 

The Vimonisha Private Collection is held at 5 * hotels in Chennai & other cities.

The idea is to take care of the participation that included space rent, marketing of the event and visitor
promotion. This gives the designers the freedom to come and only concentrate on the sale of the products instead of worrying of other aspects of exhibitingHaving completed 70 shows in the past,

 

The Vimonisha Private Collection has given the participating designers, a launch pad to expand their retail and trade business in south India. We invite designers to participate with us in our forthcoming shows for this fashion and festive season.
