Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions we hear most often. If yours is not here, write to us and a member of the atelier will reply within one working day.

How do sarees fit? Are they one size?

Yes. All our sarees are 6.3 metres including the pallu, with an 80 cm unstitched blouse piece attached. That is generous enough for any height and any drape, from Nivi to Kandyan Osariya.

Do you stitch blouses?

We do. After ordering, send us your bust, waist, shoulder and sleeve measurements through the contact page and we will stitch the blouse piece to fit. Allow 7 to 10 days. Ready-to-wear blouses are also available in the Blouses category.

How do the jackets run?

Jackets are cut to layer over a blouse or saree. If you are between sizes, or plan to wear over thicker fabrics, size up. Full measurements are in the size guide on every product page.

How should I care for silk and handloom pieces?

Dry clean silk, Banarasi, Kanjivaram and brocade. Steam on low from the reverse side. Linen and cotton can be hand washed cold and dried in shade. Store folded in muslin away from direct light, and refold along different lines every few months to protect zari.

What payment methods do you accept?

Cash on delivery and bank transfer across Sri Lanka. Card payments are coming soon. For bank transfers, details are sent by email after you place your order and we dispatch once payment clears.

How do I use a promo code?

Enter the code in the promo field in your bag or at checkout. WELCOME10 gives 10% off your first order. One code per order.

Can I see pieces in person?

Yes. Visit the atelier at 42 Galle Road, Colombo 03, Tuesday to Sunday, or book a private one-hour bridal appointment through the contact page.

Do you ship internationally?

We do. Shipping is calculated at checkout. Delivery takes 5 to 10 working days and any import duties are payable by the recipient.

Do you work with stockists or stylists?

We welcome enquiries from boutiques, stylists and press. Use the wholesale option on the contact page and tell us about your store or project.
