Opera Trading Co. is a Dubai-based luxury fashion retailer founded by Mr. Mohamed Awada and Mrs. Luma Awada. Since opening its first boutique, Opera Shoes, in 1994, the company has grown into a distinguished portfolio of multi-brand boutiques across Dubai’s leading destinations.

In the early 2000's, Opera Trading introduced René Caovilla to the Middle East with the brand’s first boutique in the region, at Mall of the Emirates. In 2018, the company launched VAO Concept Store — an 800-square-meter standalone glass destination bringing together ready-to-wear, footwear, accessories, fragrances, lifestyle, and design under one roof.

With the launch of its e-commerce platform in 2020, Opera Trading continues to redefine luxury retail through curated experiences, personal service, and a modern vision of fashion. Rooted in family values, the company fosters a culture of respect, unity, and individuality — shaping every client interaction into something memorable.
