OUR JOURNEY

In 1991, the inception of Kavelle Couture graced Edinburgh's West End. Jaspal, the visionary founder, embarked on this venture by crafting unique, bespoke dresses from the comfort of her home.

Self-taught and having honed her sewing skills from a tender age, Jaspal initially created various garments for family and friends. This evolved into the production of formalwear, including waistcoats and suits for local businesses. Her entry into the bridal industry was sparked when Jaspal's five-year-old son excitedly announced that his teacher was getting married, confidently stating, "My mom can make her dress!" This unexpected endorsement inspired Jaspal to consider venturing into bridal design, although she questioned who would trust someone they didn't know, especially someone who had never attempted a wedding dress before. To her surprise, the teacher embraced the idea, enchanted by Jaspal's passion and imagination. The resulting dress was a resounding success.

Buoyed by recommendations, Jaspal continued to create wedding dresses, eventually naming her burgeoning business "Kavelle" after her daughter. Taking her first formal step, she placed a modest advertisement in the Yellow Pages. Through diligence, practice, and customer referrals, Jaspal realised her dream in 1991 when she opened her own bridal boutique in Edinburgh's West End.

The business thrived, necessitating a move in 2004 to larger premises when a former Clydesdale Bank nearby became available. The new location, more than double the size of the previous shop, allowed Kavelle to offer an expanded range of dresses from various designers.

After numerous satisfied brides, the Kavelle brand gained acclaim not only in Scotland but also across the UK, attracting clients from as far away as Australia, Singapore, and the United States. In 2011, the company achieved further success, relocating to another former bank, an RBS in Edinburgh's New Town. This move marked the introduction of world-renowned designers such as Atelier Pronovias, Lusan Mandongus, Pronovias, Galia Lahav, and YSA Makino. Industry professionals have aptly described the boutique as a "boutique with a soul," designed to create a fairytale experience for each and every bride.

Continuing the ethos of putting the individual bride first, the business is now run by two generations of the family.

Jaspal named the business after her eldest daughter Kavelle who started helping out at the weekends from her teenage years and after leaving school worked alongside her. The family has seen the wedding dress industry change over the past 30 years, from fairytale dresses of the Princess Diana era to the sophisticated lace gowns or sexy styles favoured by modern celebrities.

A well-earned reputation of excellence is the reason brides travel from far and wide to have their wedding dress designed and handmade by the Kavelle team. Our gowns are the pinnacle of exquisite workmanship and exude glamour and elegance. Gowns can be individually designed and hand-made or bought ready to wear. The shop also offers a substantial choice of designer wedding dresses that have been selected to complement the Kavelle brand.

A wedding dress is one of the most important purchases a woman will ever make. At Kavelle we aspire to make this a wonderful experience as well as creating a life-long memory.
