About the brand
Dea Kudibal's journey began in 2003 when she established her eponymous brand in the heart of Copenhagen. Initially specialising in exclusive scarves crafted from vintage fabrics, Dea quickly garnered attention for her keen eye for colour and pattern. This modest inception soon blossomed into a broader range of tops, trousers, skirts, and dresses, culminating in the launch of the inaugural full Dea Kudibal collection in 2008.
Dea Kudibal has formed a genuine connection with Deryane and The Dressing Room. In 2023, Dea took time out of her incredibly busy schedule to fly to the UK and meet Deryane and the team for a private launch event. During this special occasion, they had fascinating conversations about her journey from college to the successful business she runs today. Customers were thrilled to meet Dea in person, gaining valuable insights into her amazing brand and its evolution.
Attention to detail is paramount in every aspect of Dea Kudibal's creations, with a focus on quality, silhouette, and craftsmanship. The result is a collection that epitomises femininity, flattery, and contemporary style, tailored to suit the needs of the modern woman. Rooted in her artistic family background and innate sense of aesthetics, Dea Kudibal has made prints the cornerstone of her creative vision. Each season, she and her team curate a diverse array of designs, ranging from bold and vibrant to soft and delicate. These prints adorn premium stretch silk, a hallmark of the brand's signature style.
Favourite styles undergo seasonal updates, with beloved shapes reimagined in new colourways, prints, and fabrics. Dea Kudibal dresses, in particular, prove to be incredibly popular, balancing style, comfort, and versatility effortlessly. A wardrobe essential is the Helga dress, cherished for its chic stand collar and sleek kaftan shape that effortlessly skims over the body, offering both comfort and flattering elegance. A Dea Kudibal dress will take you to any occasion with ease.
Beyond the stunning prints and luxurious fabrics, Dea Kudibal's collections are also known for their impeccable fit. The brand understands that the perfect fit is essential for making a woman feel her best, and they go to great lengths to ensure that every piece flatters the female form. This dedication to fit and form has earned Dea Kudibal a loyal following among women who appreciate quality, elegance, and contemporary style.
