Shop stylish mother of the bride looks at Moda Dea
After identifying a need for a boutique in the area, owner Rosemarie McInally opened Moda Dea in September 2009 in a small shop on Glasgow’s south side.
Moda Dea quickly became a huge success and outgrew the original shop. They moved to larger premises at 98 Cross Arthurlie Street where they offer a much larger range of fashion, specialising in mother of the bride/groom, cocktail and casual wear in sizes 8-26.
Rosemarie travels all over Europe to source new labels, with an emphasis on fabulous fabrics, styles and fit. You’ll also find a range of accessories to suit every outfit, from jewellery to hats, fascinators and award-winning Rainbow shoes, which can be dyed any colour.
The team is passionate about making clients feel good about themselves, whatever the occasion. They understand what suits all shapes and sizes, boast a wealth of experience in the fashion industry and aim to provide an enjoyable shopping experience.
There is no doubt why they won Best Fashion Boutique in Glasgow in the Scottish Business Awards last year, and the Scottish Women’s Awards for the Best Independent Retail Business in Scotland.
