About Us

Yasisurie Kiribandara  always had a passion for fashion since childhood when she experienced  her parents many parties and how her mom dressed up for all the  occasions and how the luxe ladies would dress up!

Although her  dad was a Chartered Civil Engineer  this passion resulted in her  following her higher studies in Fashion Design at the esteemed college  of Fashion in Sri Lanka “AOD”. Armed with her newly acquired knowledge  she was head hunted by Brandix and went onto work in the garment export  sector for 7 years with some of the top brands globally. Her final  position was of a Merchandising Manager for a US based brand.

Yasisurie says " When I launched my first collection at CFW I wanted to give the clients something and and fresh that has not been seen before yet rooted in sustainable practice's in Fashion. I always loved elegance in style and good luxurious fabrics above all.  Collection after collection was well received and sold out within 1 day. Ladies would come to me asking for custom made designs. That was something I was unprepared for but I soon started loving. Creating something completely new gave me the freedom to work with different silhouettes and fabrics altogether.. Soon this evolved into our first ever bridal collection that was launched at The Designer Wedding Show 2016. 

Our clients came looking for something new, fresh and unique and it has become the brand's DNA.

In time we have been able to create more couture designs too giving our clients something new bringing Yasisurie's vision into life too! Allowing brides to define their style and connect with ours and making it something unique and of good quality. Even our readywear designs are made to order.

 Our brides are confident, unapologetic, and willing to stray from any box that the industry has marketed them to fit into. It has been such a refreshing drive to keep at it, continue to flip the script, and to never stop finding new and exciting ways to approach one's wedding.
