Ventures, a leading manufacturing house from Kolkata has made India proud by winning Grand Jury Award at Premier Vision, Paris 2016 -17. Première Vision Paris is one of the trade shows held around the world in which professionals from across 120 countries exhibit their products divided into six categories—yarns, fabrics, leather, design, accessories and manufacturing.
The award winning fabric presented by Ventures is a creation of hand-painted pearls that are coated and then stitched on to a base, while maintaining the free movement of each individual Pearl giving it a unique free flowing movement.
Ventures is a manufacturing export house established in 1994 based out of Kolkata, West Bengal with close to 3000 employees. The company is engaged in export of high value added textile products and garments, specialised embroidery & weaves for some of the top luxury brands in the world. “This is the first time an Indian company has won a prize for innovation and not manufacturing, which ties in the concept of “Make In India/Skill India” so perfectly, said Mr Ayush Murarka, CEO at Ventures.
Speaking about the fabric, Mr Oliver Gabet, Director of The Museum of Decorative Arts at the iconic Louvre museum, who was also heading the grand jury said “The grand jury prize for fabrics is a kind of netting by Ventures, with plays on beautiful beads, embroidered to each other while each remains independent and moves at its own rhythm. Its magic, and totally subtle. I still don’t know how it works. You can imagine it in a range of colours, in various combinations, and maybe even figurative motifs.”
