Clarks and DSI open third store in Colombo

Expert shoemakers Clarks launched its third store in Colombo on Wednesday through its sole distributor in Sri Lanka, D. Samson & Sons Ltd. The store brings to the city Clarks’ beautifully crafted Spring/Summer 2017 collections for men and women. 

Spread over 480 square feet, the store will be located in Colombo 4 and will offer a premium range of British key signature styles for the season.
