Sriyani Dress Point Marks Colombo Debut with a New Fashion Landmark

Sriyani Dress Point has entered Colombo's fashion retail market with the opening of its new showroom in Wellawatte, Colombo 06, at 10.00 AM on 11 November 2026, bringing more than three decades of retail experience to a new destination for fashion and home essentials.

The ceremonial opening was graced by Indian actress Pooja Hegde, alongside cricketers, celebrities and other distinguished guests. The occasion marked the retailer's arrival in Sri Lanka's commercial capital and the beginning of a new phase of growth for the Sri Lankan brand.

With its curved façade, glass frontage and rooftop greenery, the showroom introduces a distinctive architectural presence to Wellawatte. Spread across multiple floors, it is one of the largest fashion showrooms in Colombo, bringing together clothing, homeware and accessories for everyday living, festive occasions and wedding preparations. An extensive car park adds convenience for customers visiting with family and friends.

The opening programme also gave 100 fans, selected from registrations, the opportunity to meet and take photographs with Pooja Hegde and the other celebrities, adding a personal connection to the celebrations.

The Colombo debut followed a teaser campaign under the tagline "Kolamba Ayata, Colombo Hayata", which built curiosity around the brand's plans before revealing the new showroom.

Established in 1993, Sriyani Dress Point built its presence through eight showrooms across six cities, Kegalle, Kurunegala, Kandy, Matale, Negombo and Ratnapura, with two each in Kurunegala and Kandy, before entering Colombo. The retailer was recognised as Most Popular Retailer at the Pinnacle Awards 2025.

The Wellawatte showroom extends this retail journey to Colombo and the Western Province, bringing the brand closer to a wider customer base with a shopping destination designed to welcome the whole family.
