It is a known fact that the apparel industry of Sri Lanka has positioned itself as the apparel hub of the entire South Asian region. However, what is less well known is that Sri Lanka caters to most of the major brands in Europe and the west. Many of these brands are manufactured in this beautiful island. As for why everyone isn’t sporting the latest collections from all the big brands, it’s because these brands are shipped abroad without ever being sold here.
Understanding this need, The Factory Outlet (TFO) was opened to the public in 2011. The name narrates a story and the concept is designed as a win-win for the masses of Sri Lanka. This is described best by the company’s Managing Director Asif Iqbal: “One half of our mission is to set affordable prices for everyone. The other, more important half is to become the trendsetter for Sri Lanka and the world. We don’t want to sell clothes just for the sake of it.”
Currently operating in three locations (Mount Lavinia, Havelock, and Pelawatta), their stores will immediately transport you away from the noise and pollution of the city to a cool, tranquil oasis for shopaholics. Open your eyes, and you will get lost in the array of designer clothing and accessories. The stores offer a curated collection of attire for men, women and children. This collection ranges from children’s party wear to a glamorous selection of costume jewelry, and from sporty cricket kits to casual beach slippers. There is also a sizeable collection of affordable, luxurious formal wear for today’s generation of working men and women. This truly makes The Factory Outlet a shopping destination for everyone.
In celebration of its fifth anniversary, TFO is conducting a gala anniversary sale to share this successful milestone with its customers by providing 50% discount on all items. This gala sale is being conducted at the Excel World premises (Darley Road) from 26 February to 5 March from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Consumers are offered a wide range of clothing which includes a variety of office wear, casual wear, sportswear, beach wear and many more, for men, women and kids of all ages.
The Factory Outlet has already set a benchmark in almost half a decade of operations in Sri Lanka. The young company yearns to take the fashion industry to greater heights and is set to open even more branches in the near future, ensuring that Sri Lanka will undoubtedly flourish in style.
