The beginning · Since 1974
Dresses and uniforms
School uniforms for girls and boys joined the dresses. Clothing production opened the way to new collections.
One initiative.
A whole story.
The story of Modas Laura is the story of Vilma Corella Artavia and an idea that went much further than expected.
The first stepFrom a few samples
From a few samples
to stores nationwide.
While passing a Más por Menos supermarket and looking at some dresses, Vilma thought she could improve the way they were made. She prepared her own samples and presented them to Corporación de Supermercados Unidos, then known as CSU.
She expected an order for the Cuesta de Moras store. To her surprise, the dresses were requested for Más por Menos stores throughout the country. Her initiative opened a much bigger opportunity than she had imagined.

New collections
From clothing to the home
Over time, pot holders and butcher’s aprons followed: other ways to be part of everyday life.
Part of our identity
The baby and children’s collection
Crib sheets with two pillowcases, small pillows and different styles of pillowcase expanded the collection. There was also a larger pillow for children, separate from the small baby pillows.
Today
A new stitch
Today we focus on pillows with pillowcases, simple pillows and pillowcases for large pillows, in white and other colours. After moving from manual methods to technology-assisted processes, we are excited to take the next step into the digital world.

The story of a family.
The baby preserves our connection to an important part of our journey. Modas Laura remains Vilma’s family business, active since 1974 and made in Costa Rica.
