EditorYour home should tell a story of who you are and be a collection of what you love – Nate Berkus
Maeva, the brainchild of Ramesh Flowers India (P) Ltd, a subsidiary of the international Gala Group, launches its first retail store-cum-experience center in Bengaluru in the presence of renowned actress Kriti Kharbanda. Each product in their collection is created to think that it will soon be a part of someone’s home or celebration and fragrances that will trigger sweet memories. Their range of products varies from dried flower arrangements, scented candles, diffusers, essential oils, pooja boxes, potpourri, torans, Christmas decor, incense sticks, etc., to add to the beauty of your home.
Maeva in Tahitian means ‘welcome’. The brand manifesto is a collection of keepsakes, smell and sound, of warmth, of small victories, of language, and travel, of kindness and courage, of love and its manifestation.’ All of Maeva’s products are made with recycled elements derived from agro by-products and minor forest waste. The raw materials for their products are sourced from artisans from all around the country. These are then painstakingly hand-processed into the final product at their workshops in and around Tuticorin. The finished products add immense value and beauty to your home, and they can further be recycled. Maeva came into existence four years ago to celebrate moments. Maeva is a powerful connection between emotions, memories, haptics, and scents, states Dirk Langhammer, CEO of Gala Group.
The Maeva journey began with the drive to produce thoughtful and personal gifts that bring a sense of joy, love, and peace. Their team is committed to continuously bring luxurious, long-lasting, and versatile home decor to the Indian market. In addition, the brand proudly promotes the idea of Artisanal Living by ensuring each product is handmade and unique. “Our brand truly believes in women. We are proud that more than 80% of employees at our Indian subsidiary are female. Also, we are continuously engaging these women in several mentoring initiatives for personal and overall growth,” highlights Tanja Lockwood, CMO of Gala Group.
Maeva came into existence in 2017 to celebrate joyous moments in your home. Over the last four years, the brand has made its mark online and received an overwhelming response from its customers. Their website, www.themaevastore.com, has a listing of over 500 different products. The brand aims to be a one-stop-shop for all home and lifestyle needs and the preferred choice for any gifting. “We want our customers to experience the product before they make it a part of their lives, to be able to touch, feel and choose the ones they resonate with,” says P.S Suresh, CEO, Maeva India, and Ramesh Flowers.
“Considering the wide range of products, having a retail-cum-experience store was one of our primary objectives, which we have now fulfilled. We want to continuously strive to get international standards and quality home decor to the Indian market. We aim to see the brand reach every home in India and go global.” adds Raina Singhwi Jain, Head of Marketing, Maeva India, and Ramesh Flowers.
Ramesh Flowers (P) Ltd has been one of the largest manufacturers and exporters of Home Fragrance and Home Decor products in India since its inception in 1982. Mahendra Raj Singhwi founded the company in a port town called Tuticorin in Tamil Nadu because of its proximity to the harbor, which facilitated exports.
Ramesh Flowers works in harmony with nature creating exquisite home and lifestyle products using natural botanicals. Over the years, the company has expanded its product portfolio tremendously by manufacturing home fragrance products like candles, essential oils, and incense. Starting with just five employees, today, Ramesh Flowers has grown into a distinguished company that proudly employs over 2600 people, 81% of which are women. With around 40 years of experience manufacturing and exporting high-quality products to leading brands across thirty-two countries, the company has set a benchmark for quality and creativity.
Through constant innovation and new product development, Ramesh Flowers offers consumers worldwide design-driven, high-quality products that are up to date with the latest trends. Flora Classique Inc. has been a subsidiary of Ramesh Flowers in California for over a decade, which extends its support in activities like marketing, distribution, and strategic development in the American sub-continent.
Ramesh Flowers proudly supports the “Make in India” initiative and works towards presenting India’s treasure trove of botanicals and exotics in the form of beautiful home decoration products to the rest of the world.
Germany-based GALA Kerzen, a leading manufacturer of candles, has acquired Ramesh Flowers, an Indian manufacturer and exporter of potpourri, air fresheners, incense sticks, candles, and decorative products in the year 2018.
This strategic partnership will expand GALA Kerzen and Ramesh Flowers’ range of high-end scented and decorative products and enable the groups to move into new markets.
