At the fourth edition of Designers Fair, held at Chennai’s Hotel ITC Grand Chola, the Council for Leather Exports (CLE) resolved to address a key gap in its value chain – design capabilities – for the next level of growth in the country. CLE is an autonomous organisation under Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Govt. of India.
The council’s Chairman Aqeel Ahmed elaborated, “All major brands in the world are sourcing from India. With this fair, we have narrowed what has been lacking at the sector’s end. We hope the industry surges ahead and beats the buyers imagination.”
Grander participation
Last year witnessed a greater footfall, and had quality visitors from across India. Several designers recalled that they were quite pleased with the fourth edition, Rajesh Sehgal, the convener of the fair remarked.
Generally, at most fairs in several countries it is a common practice among designers to present their design collections and projects which are procured by individual exporters on payment basis. However, most Indian exporters and manufacturers have to travel to attend these overseas fairs to experience such exposure. Underscoring this shortage, the council decided to overcome this by creating the platform. The fair provides a common opportunity to the overseas as well as home-grown designers to present their design projects in India to the Indian manufacturers or exporters of leather and leather products.
