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 Gallery, 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.

 

The Vimonisha Private Collection is held either at the The Vimonisha Gallery Chennai or other venues in 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 exhibiting

 

Having completed 50 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.
