About Us


Welcome to my world. I’m Leonora Axhami, founder and designer of Leonnora—a haute couture fashion house where dreams are hand-stitched into reality, one custom gown at a time.


My journey began in Kosovo, where I was born and raised, surrounded by a culture rich in tradition, resilience, and timeless beauty. From a young age, I was inspired by the grace and strength of the women around me. I dreamed of creating pieces that would not just dress them—but celebrate them.


With nothing more than vision, determination, and a small home office, I launched Leonnora five years ago. I had no showroom, no staff—just a sewing machine, passion, and the belief that if I created something truly special, women would feel that. I began with one client, one dress, and a deep commitment to offering something personal, beautiful, and unforgettable.


Today, Leonnora is an internationally recognized couture brand, serving women in more than 88 countries around the world. From the runways of Los Angeles to weddings in Paris, from glamorous evenings in Dubai to cherished family moments in Tokyo—Leonnora gowns have become part of countless extraordinary stories. And wherever you are, we’re proud to offer free worldwide shipping, so your dream dress can always reach you.


Our heart remains in Kosovo, where our dedicated atelier and factory continue to create every piece by hand. With a team of skilled artisans, we craft each gown with care, precision, and soul. At Leonnora, we don’t mass produce. We believe in slow, meaningful fashion. Every bead is sewn by hand. Every cut is intentional. Every gown is custom-made—created for your body, your story, your moment.


More than fashion, Leonnora is a purpose. A mission. We design to empower women—to help them feel strong, radiant, and unforgettable. Because when you wear something that was made just for you, you don’t just look beautiful—you feel it.


Thank you for being part of this journey. Thank you for supporting a woman-led, independent couture house that was built from nothing but a dream—and now shines on women all over the world.


With love and gratitude,

Leonora Axhami
