Her hands look like they can cast magic as she continues to create stunning gowns and dresses of all colors, soft and vivid, making her and the dreams of many women come true.

Teuta Matoshi is now a designer with more than 1.2m followers on Instagram.
However, her journey to reach where she is is just as perilous as princesses in fairytales’ faces.
Born in Pristina, Kosovo, Teuta is born to a poor family with 8 other siblings. His father was a teacher while she and her siblings learned how to sew from scrap cloths and old garments.
She continued with sewing and embroidery until middle school as people continue to compliment her skills.
She started to dream: to open her own boutique where she sells dresses that she designs herself.
She attended the Factory Design University and finally met her mentor.
Her mentor is a Franc professor who supervised her and allowed her to explore the world of fashion design.
It was thanks to this mentor that guided her to develop her own style and have confidence in growing her own line.
After that were the long years of perseverance and hard work!
She started small; shops would order dresses from her. From there, she started her own brand that grew into the luxury brand it is.
Quality is her priority – it’s not easy to find high-quality fabrics. Along with that, she also grew her own team.
Her team now consists of 40 skilled people that she personally chose and trained.
She is also a mother to 3 kids now!
Teuta focuses on hiring women due to high unemployment rate for women in her country. This is why many of her staff are young mothers or women who love fashion like her.
