Early Days. Albina Dyla’s journey began during the Kosovo War in the late 1990s when Elvane Dyla, a math professor in Gjakova, faced the cessation of her income. She partnered with friends to design handmade dresses, providing much-needed support to her family. Her daughter, Albina, living in another city, returned home frequently to help. In 2014, Albina took on a full-time leadership role, transforming the operation. Starting with four tailors in a modest workspace, they gradually expanded, eventually moving to a larger location still in use today. Albina’s dedication and vision to create a globally recognized brand kept her inspired despite the challenges.

Expanding and Gaining Recognition. The brand’s first breakthrough came when it was invited to participate in major fashion shows in Kosovo, attracting attention from local celebrities and expanding its clientele. This led to the opening of a showroom in Prishtina on October 17, 2017, further extending the brand’s reach. To meet customer demand, Albina Dyla also expanded its product line to include leather goods, hoodies, sweatpants, and hats. In 2024, recognizing the growth of its client base in the USA, the brand established an office in the United States to better serve international clients.

Going Global. In March 2019, CEO Ardit Dyla joined the company, introducing structural changes and expanding the brand’s global presence. With the development of specialized departments, Albina Dyla scaled its workforce to meet increasing demand. The brand’s commitment to quality craftsmanship attracted clients worldwide, prompting further expansion in tailoring, marketing, design, sales, customer care, and human resources. With a loyal following of most influential celebrities like Bebe Rexha, Nicole Scherzinger, Gwen Stefani, Mary J. Blige, Thalia, Kiara Advani, Stefflon Don, Dafina Zeqiri. Albina Dyla stands among designers who dress the world’s celebrities. This high-profile exposure underscores the brand’s commitment to glamour and sophistication, placing it in the company of renowned names in couture.

The company offers a diverse array of products, from evening gowns and wedding dresses to jumpsuits, costumes, and casual wear, including leather goods, sweatshirts, and hats.
