Wellawatte has officially been BeDesi-fied. This Valentine’s Day, Be Desi unveiled its largest flagship fashion destination to date at No. 37, Galle Road, Colombo 06, transforming the heart of Colombo into Sri Lanka’s newest hotspot for Pop Desi and high-end Bollywood-inspired style.
The landmark opening marks a major milestone not only for the brand, but also for Colombo’s evolving fashion landscape. Designed as a complete Desi fashion ecosystem, the new flagship brings together tradition, luxury, and contemporary flair under one immersive retail experience for modern Sri Lankan families.
At the heart of the destination is Be Desi, celebrated for its bold Pop Desi aesthetic and modern ethnic silhouettes. Expanding the offering further, the flagship introduces:
- Sultan – refined and regal men’s ethnic wear
- Lux Desi – premium couture and elevated occasion dressing
- Wedding Studio – intricately crafted luxury bridal and ceremonial attire
- Accessories by Be Desi – curated jewelry, bags, and fashion accents
- Raja & Rani – regal-inspired luxury Desi fashion for children
Together, these brands cater to weddings, festive occasions, celebrations, menswear, accessories, and children’s couture — redefining the Desi retail experience in Sri Lanka.
Be Desi also announced its next lifestyle extension: House of Desi, a home and décor concept inspired by Desi aesthetics, set to launch within the next two months at the same Wellawatte flagship destination — further expanding the brand into a complete lifestyle universe.
“Be Desi was born from a love for colour, culture, and confidence,” said Raghda Roshandeen, Founder of Be Desi.
“This flagship is a dream realized — a space where timeless Desi tradition meets bold self-expression. Every collection reflects our belief that Pop Desi fashion can be powerful, glamorous, and unapologetically modern while celebrating the richness of South Asian craftsmanship.”
The opening also signals a larger strategic expansion within the Infinite Business Ventures (IBV) group.
“This flagship represents more than retail growth — it reflects IBV’s long-term commitment to building strong, scalable Sri Lankan brands,” said Ifzaal Iqbal, Managing Director of Infinite Business Ventures (IBV).
“Our vision is to create sustainable brand ecosystems that combine design excellence, operational strength, and customer experience. Be Desi’s expansion demonstrates our confidence in Sri Lanka’s retail future and in the ability of homegrown brands to lead with ambition and innovation.”
The immersive interiors, curated collections, and celebratory launch atmosphere reflect a growing movement within Sri Lanka’s fashion scene — one that embraces the vibrancy of Desi and South Asian fashion traditions while confidently expressing individuality through colour, texture, and design.
With this landmark expansion, Be Desi has firmly positioned itself as Colombo’s emerging fashion leader in Pop Desi and Bollywood-inspired glamour.
