Taking forward the endeavour of expanding its platform to ‘emerging markets throughout the world’, Couture – a platform of leading Couture-level designers and brands is showcasing at UBM India’s debut Mumbai Jewellery and Gem Fair slated for December 9, 2011. The Mumbai Jewellery and Gem Fair will be held at the Mumbai Exhibition Centre.

Couture India aims to attract domestic and international retailers of high-end design to its designers and brands. In its mode of expansion, India’s growth in affluent consumers and interest in global design provides a good backdrop for ‘Couture’.

Couture’s partnership with UBM India will gain Couture the advantage of market insight, knowledge and relationships. According to UBM India, the alliance will promote global brands to the Indian market.

For brands interested in exhibiting, Couture India will provide a package including a fully built-out salon on the show floor, hosted buyer events with key domestic retailers and wholesalers, and full accommodation and transportation in Mumbai, reports say.
