1965

Gopaldas Mohnani founded the business with the opening of his first store in Republic Street, Valletta. The store specialised in selling bridal textiles, occasion wear and accessories. Over the years, they came to be known known as “Ta’ l-Indjani” with a stellar reputation for high-quality fabrics. At the time, wedding dresses were primarily tailor-made, and the leading seamstresses in the area preferred to source their fabric from Gopaldas due to the exceptional quality of their offerings.

Joseph Mohnani, one of Gopaldas’s sons, and his wife Therese, took over the business in Republic Street and re-named the outlet ‘Sposa Bella’, continuing to build upon the good reputation of the business. They introduced, in-house, made-to-measure dress-making services, designed to satisfy the clients’ wishes and keep up with the ongoing wedding style trends.

The Mohnanis could see a new trend emerging, that of ready-made dresses. This would mean that, for the first time, a bride could have a wide array of dresses to try on and would not be relying solely on the dressmaker’s vision. For this purpose, a new outlet and the first of its kind in Malta, was opened in High Street, Ħamrun and run by Therese.

The third outlet, Mariage, was established on Zachary Street in Valletta. It offered a range of products, including wedding dress textiles and ready-made dresses. Within a few years, the outlet came under the management of Kiran, Joseph Mohnani’s daughter.
