For over twenty years, COUTURE has served as the ultimate destination for designer fine

jewelry and luxury timepieces. Bringing together a top-tier community of heritage brands,

emerging talent, distinguished retailers and award-winning media, COUTURE is the most

exclusive and intimate destination for the luxury jewelry and timepiece market.

THE PLACES AND FACES OF COUTURE

From the private ballrooms to the Villas, from the main salon floors to Design Atelier, COUTURE is where an elite community of retailers visit the best and most innovative brands.

COUTURE is an appointment-driven show. We encourage you to be strategic about scheduling appointments with your targeted retailers during Market Week.

In March COUTURE will distribute our Retailer Profile Book, which lists the names of the most prestigious stores and buyers that will be in attendance this year. This will help you narrow down your list of targeted retailers and assist with the appointment-making process.

We also encourage you to use our online appointment making tool, COUTURE Connect. You can login and update your profile by visiting http://s15.a2zinc.net/clients/emeraldexpo/couture2017/public/e_Login.aspx

The majority of COUTURE exhibitors are found in the Lafite and Latour Ballrooms. This year our salon design is getting a facelift! Our new model will still have a uniform look on the outside, while simultaneously giving our brands the flexibility to customize the inside.

Design Atelier: These specially curated areas are home to COUTURE’s emerging designers.

These ballrooms are provided to the iconic brands as raw space, allowing each brand to fully express their pieces in magical and transformative environments.

The Villas allow world famous brands to have a presence at COUTURE while also having complete exclusivity in their own space with expansive views of the golf course.

Encore is home to COUTUREtime, a curated selection of luxury timepiece brands. These brands can be found in the Encore Ballroom, as well as the individual ballrooms in Encore.

RETAILERS

The over 4,000 COUTURE attendees who cross our threshold during Market Week represent the best in the

business; many are already your customers, and all possess the market demographics desirable for your brands;

however, to preserve the exclusive nature of COUTURE, attendance at the event is only open to qualified retailers.

All retailers must register through the system and be prepared to provide supporting documentation, including

store information, lease information and JBT rating. 

COUTURE has developed a tightly segmented retailer market and divided it into 2 key components:

THE CORNERSTONE RETAILER. Established in 2007, the “Cornerstone Retailer” program uses a series of proprietary metrics to reward a select group of retailers with an elevated suite of amenities at COUTURE. These first-in-class Cornerstone Retailers represent approximately 3�� of the best North American and International retailers. From hosted rooms, special events, private lounges, and concierge services, this group enjoys a very special selection of offerings. This elite group is comprised of the iconic names in jewelry retail.

THE COUTURE RETAILER.Since opening up the model in 2007, COUTURE has slowly but consistently grown its retailer attendee base. Because of the quality and caliber of the brands, the COUTURE show floor “self selects” its retailers and those who are not Cornerstone are still among the world’s finest retailers. This additional audience is of paramount importance to COUTURE exhibitors, not just as potential future customers, but also for their insight on consumer feedback and emerging trends.

6

Can I get information about these retailers?Yes. Our COUTURE Marketing Manager sends out the Retailer

Profile book in March. The Retailer Profile book is limited to

our Cornerstone retailers who completed their profile by the

published deadline to ensure timely production and delivery of

the book in March.  In other words, we do not create a profile for

every retailer who attends the show (only the “top tiers”).

Can we send you the Retailer Profile book in Excel?No. We do not/can not legally provide excel files of our retailer

lists. Many companies create their own Excel spreadsheets and

update them from year to year. If you would like to coordinate

an eBlast or a direct postal mailing, you may contact Elana

Cutler, our Show Manager at [email protected].

Please note: You will not have direct access to emails or mailing addresses as they will be managed by a third party fulfillment house.

The COUTURE Design Awards are only open to participating COUTURE

exhibitors. All exhibitors have the opportunity to submit one piece to this juried event. A panel of fellow designers, COUTURE’s most prestigious retailers, and members of the consumer and trade press review all the pieces in �� defined categories for technical merit, uniqueness and cutting edge design, and the ability to be sold on the retail level. Submissions are displayed for COUTURE attendees throughout the event, and the entire COUTURE community is also invited to vote on a “People’s Choice”award during the event.

The submitted pieces are displayed anonymously onsite at COUTURE to ensure fairness of the competition. The award winners are presented on Sunday, June 4 from 6:3� - 8:3�pm in Encore Theater.

After the awards on Sunday evening, the designers’ names and salon numbers are placed next to the submitted piece for display on Monday.

THE RULESINTERNAL & EXTERNAL DECORATIONFor all show order forms, showcase measurements, order deadlines, action check-lists, and contact information you need to prepare for the show, please see the COUTURE Exhibitor Resource Center.

In 2017, Freeman will be our official Service Contractor. Freeman has proven their exceptional service in the past, and we look forward to working with them.

OPERATIONS

2017 POLICY: CLOSED-TOE SHOES REQUIRED FOR MOVE-IN AND MOVE-OUT.You will not be admitted to the show floor wearing open-toed footwear.

Can we drape fabric on the interior walls? Yes, but there will be a labor cost involved to do so (from Freeman) unless you bring in your own labor (exhibitor appointed contractor).

Can we use our own furniture, chairs, table and exhibits? Yes, but you will not be able to move the furnishings in yourselves. A Freeman labor* person will move it directly to your salon space. You will need to pay a fee for this service. This is a material handling charge based on weight of the furniture.

Can we customize the salon header or apply our logo in relief? (salons only)No, the header on the outside of the salon is done in show font in uppercase letters. No logos are allowed on the outside, but you may use logos on the inside of your salon showcase windows (on back of sliding doors). You will need to contact Freeman for a price quote for that.

Can we play music in our booth?Yes, but since COUTURE is a relatively quiet show, with smaller aisles and shared walls, the volume will need to be low in order not to interfere with your salon neighbors. Also if there are complaints – you will need to reduce the volume further or turn it off completely.

*Villas, please contact Bibi Javed at [email protected] or 917-435-8180.

ADDITIONAL GOOSENECK LIGHTS FOR DESIGN ATELIER BOOTHS

If you are an exhibitor in one of our Design Atelier exhibits

and you would like to rent additional gooseneck lights,

these can be rented through Freeman’s Service Desk

located at Reg Desk 1. There will be an additional cost for

each light.

SECURITYJEWELERS MUTUAL INSURANCE

This insurance is FREE to salons and Design Atelier, but

you must opt into this; you are not automatically covered.

Jewelers Mutual insurance covers the jewelry in the

showcases in your booth when you leave it overnight on

show days. There is still a vault available should you wish

to vault particular pieces that are worth more than $20,000.

Please also note, you still need to have your own insurance

for theft, damage and fire, during the show. Jewelers Mutual

doesn’t cover damage of any kind.

VAULTS

A vault (secure room) is provided for storage of merchandise

for exhibitors from one day prior to show opening until

the afternoon following the close of the show. The vault

is manned by armed personnel. While all merchandise is

carefully handled, it is essential that exhibitors make certain

there are locks on all pieces checked into the vault and that

they are closed and secure. Cardboard cartons or other

means of packaging will not be accepted at the vault.

10

OPERATIONS (continued)

VAULTING PROCEDURES:

Go to Exhibitor Registration and pick-up your badge. YOU

MUST PICK UP YOUR BADGE BEFORE ADDING OR

REMOVING MERCHANDISE FROM THE VAULT.

During vault check-in you will be issued a numbered vault

claim check. One part is attached to your bag/case; another

is the redemption portion that is handed to you for receipt

of your merchandise. Keep the redemption check in order

to pick-up your merchandise.

In the morning, proceed to the vault with your redemption

check and exhibitor badge to withdraw your merchandise.

Exhibitors will need official government issued photo IDs,

along with a COUTURE issued badge, to enter the event

floor and for access to the COUTURE vaults. Personal

ID, along with a matching COUTURE badge, will be

systematically checked at the entrances and exits. Both IDs

must have identical names to gain access to the event floor

or vaults.

No merchandise will be released without a redemption

check, show badge and signature comparison.

Exhibitors who remove their merchandise from the show

site are totally responsible for their merchandise.

Altering Salon Exterior: The COUTURE Show Management will not allow exhibitors to alter the outside look & feel of the salons. You

cannot swap out the showcases or add light boxes. Each salon is designed so it is a level playing field for all

salon designers. Your Freeman representative can explain what can be done with your internal booth set up.

JEWELERS MUTUAL INSURANCE COVERAGEIf you are exhibiting in a salon or the Design Atelier, and you opted in to the Jewelers Mutual In-Showcase Insurance Coverage, a member of our team will be coming to your booth to deliver an inventory merchandise memo form for you to complete with a piece count and the aggregate value (at cost) for all inventory displayed in the show window. Staff will also come to your space to digitally photograph your showcase window(s) and check that the cases are locked. Please make sure someone is present in the salon until the photographer has been by. PLEASE REMEMBER THIS COVERAGE BEGINS FRIDAY, JUNE 2nd SO YOU WILL NEED TO VAULT YOUR LINES ON THURSDAY EVENING BEFORE LEAVING YOUR SALON.

SAFE RENTALThe rental safe company we recommend for the COUTURE Show is Rolland Safe. They are offering a few styles and dimensions that can be seen in the order form found on the Exhibitor Resources page. Please contact Gicela Gonzalez ([email protected]) for more information. Material handling fees (the fee of moving shipments from the dock to your salon) are already included within the price of the safe.
