Fashion Bug is making strides in the retail clothing industry in Sri Lanka keeping up with the changing lifestyles of today’s fashion conscious Sri Lankan man and woman. “We are making changes in our clothing lines as we speak. Sri Lankans today have acquired a superior pallet when it comes to fashion and we are keeping up with this. Our consumer is fashionable, sensible and well informed,” said Subian.
Fashion Bug have been in the fashion industry for over 22 years now and are always in the forefront of this rapidly evolving industry, introducing new fashions for today’s changing lifestyles.
Fashion Bug was founded in 1994 in Bandarawela with a seven-member team, the first shop being a mere 500 square feet in Bandarawela town. The brainchild of Founders Rizal and Ashan Subian and A.C.M. Tharick, today it has evolved into a household brand that boasts of 17 outlets island-wide. Fashion Bug currently numbers over 1,200 Sri Lankan men and women amongst its staff, who hail from diverse backgrounds and ethnicities; hence they constitute a truly Sri Lankan corporate entity.
Other than the 1,250 employees who are currently on the payroll, Fashion Bug sustains over 2,000 Sri Lankan men and women via the supplier chain that manufactures their own brands such as Amazing Lanka, Givo, Hush Lingerie, Jobbs, Bigg Boss, Bug Junior, Amy and Giggles .
