We are extremely happy to partner with the Hameedia Group, which is known for setting luxury retail standards. We believe that the addition of the PRO products and accessories to the Hameedia portfolio will provide discerning Sri Lankan consumers with the care and cleaning solutions that they need to ensure the durability of their footwear.
