Estela Vila set out to create a top-end bridalwear brand when, in 1994, she founded Model Novias in Vigo, where the company has its head office. In keeping with its location, the calm but industrious Galician character can be felt in every dress.
Model Novias gowns are the result of many hours of craftsmanship. The woman who dons them on her wedding day chooses a classic dress with an up-to-date twist in the shape of tiny details that reveal the meticulous approach of their artisans.
The company went global just ten years ago and today exacting customers like the USA and Japan are among its main markets. The collections are sold at exclusive multi-brand bridal retailers in Spain (86 POS) and abroad (62 POS).
Exports account for 60% of turnover, and Model Novias produces 3,000 gowns a year. As well as bridalwear, it has party designs, under the Zenobia label, and employs 25 people.
The brand is a regular at leading exhibitions in the sector, like Sposaitalia (Milan), The Great Bridal Expo (New York) and Barcelona Bridal Week-Noviaespaña (Barcelone), where it has a catwalk show at Gaudí Brides every season.
