Sri Lanka Clothing Industry

Sri Lanka Fashion Industry: Learn about Fashion, Apparel, & Textiles from Sri Lanka. This directory page brings together the Sri Lanka Chamber of Garment Exporters link and two Sri Lanka company listings: Amendra Group, a supplier of stock lot garments in Colombo, and Bombuwala Rubber Mills (Pvt) Limited, a manufacturer of natural rubber sole crepe at Thalangama. Together the listings cover two different ends of the trade: finished garments offered as stock lots, and a footwear material that goes into finished shoes.

Sri Lanka Clothing Industry Overview

The finished-garment side of this directory is represented by Amendra Group in Colombo. Amendra Group supplies stock lot garments for almost any description, for men's and women's wear, and its wholesale list runs across seven garment types: pantys, bras, pants, shorts, jackets, shirts and dressers. A stock lot supplier works differently from a factory that sews to order: the garments on offer are lots that are already made, so a buyer's conversation starts from what descriptions, quantities and sizes are available in the lot rather than from a new production order. That breadth — underwear items, pants and shorts, jackets and shirts in one list — is what the listing's phrase "almost any description" points to, and it makes the Colombo listing a first contact for a buyer looking for ready garments across several categories at once.

The materials side of the directory is represented by Bombuwala Rubber Mills (Pvt) Limited at 479/6A, Shanthi Place, Koswatte, Thalangama. Bombuwala manufactures sole crepe made out of natural rubber latex for shoe soling. Sole crepe is a soling material, so this listing belongs to the footwear end of the fashion trade rather than to garment making: the crepe goes into fashion shoes, winter shoes and other high quality shoes. The listing states that Bombuwala could supply any color and any size according to the buyers' requirements, which matters for a soling material because a shoe producer needs the crepe matched to the colors and sizes of the shoes being made. The single manufacturer item is stated plainly: Rubber Sole Crepe Made out of Natural Latex.

Between the two listings, the page covers sourcing questions that usually sit in different parts of the industry. A garment buyer asks about garment descriptions, men's and women's ranges, and lot availability, and directs those questions to A.R. Amendra in Colombo by telephone, fax or e-mail. A footwear producer asks about a material's color, size and suitability for a shoe range, and directs those questions to Mr. Parakrama Perera, the director at Bombuwala Rubber Mills. The Sri Lanka Chamber of Garment Exporters link at the top of the page adds the industry-body route: it leads to the apparel page on srilankabusiness.com, where a reader looking beyond these two listings can start with the garment exporters' chamber.

Contact details are part of the substance here, so they are given in full for both companies. Amendra Group can be reached on 077-802261, 01-846626 or 01-850279, by fax on 01-846626, and by e-mail at amendrestoks@eureka.lk. Bombuwala Rubber Mills can be reached on 00 94 1 788349 or 00 94 34 80187, by fax on 00 94 1 788349, and by e-mail at brmpl@itmin.com. Because company details can change over time, a buyer should confirm the current details, and the current availability behind either listing, directly with the company before placing an order.

Manufacturing & Sourcing in Sri Lanka

A buyer sourcing finished garments from this page is dealing with a stock lot offer, and the sourcing steps follow from that. The first step is to describe the garments wanted as precisely as possible — garment type, men's or women's, and the quantities and sizes needed — because Amendra Group supplies stock lot garments for almost any description and the match depends on what the available lots contain. The wholesale items named in the listing give the starting range: pantys and bras, pants and shorts, jackets, shirts and dressers. The second step is to ask which of those descriptions are available as lots at the time of enquiry, in what quantities, and on what terms, using the Colombo telephone numbers, fax number and e-mail address in the listing below. Stock changes as lots are sold, so availability confirmed in an earlier conversation should be checked again before a buyer commits.

A footwear producer sourcing materials from this page follows a different route. The product is sole crepe made out of natural rubber latex, a soling material for fashion shoes, winter shoes and other high quality shoes. The listing's promise is flexibility on the two variables a shoe producer must fix before production: Bombuwala could supply any color and any size according to the buyers' requirements. A sourcing enquiry should therefore state the colors and sizes the shoe range needs, the type of shoes the crepe will sole, and the quantities involved, and send it to Mr. Parakrama Perera, Director, at Bombuwala Rubber Mills (Pvt) Limited, 479/6A, Shanthi Place, Koswatte, Thalangama, by telephone or by e-mail at brmpl@itmin.com. A sample or a specification discussion is the natural way to confirm that the crepe's color and size match the shoes before a larger order is placed.

The two routes also differ in who carries the enquiry inside each business. At Amendra Group the named contact is A.R. Amendra, and the listing gives three telephone numbers alongside the fax number and e-mail address, so a garment enquiry has several ways in. At Bombuwala the named contact is the director, Mr. Parakrama Perera, which suits a technical material enquiry where color, size and shoe type need to be discussed with the person running the mill. In both cases the listings below keep the full description, address and contact details together in one place, so the enquiry can be made from this page without hunting for a separate directory entry.

We hope that you are enjoying our Clothing Industry Directory.
