Numa The Concept Store recently opened its doors for the first time in Colombo 7, on 4 March. The event was graced by many influencers, philanthropists, local entrepreneurs, and media personnel alike.
Numa was inspired by three talented young women who have the same passion for fashion and who wanted to make a difference in the way brands or emerging brands were showcased. Explaining the reasoning behind showcasing a variety of up and coming brands, a spokesperson for Numa said that they have relatively new brands at the store, and only a very curated collection is retailed.
The concept behind Numa is simple; with its recent inception, they wanted to showcase Sri Lankan talent, which is why, the spokesperson added, they have created a platform for local emerging designers to showcase their talents. “All products, whether it is clothes or lifestyle items, are 100% locally sourced, from all parts of Sri Lanka. We wanted to provide these entrepreneurs with a platform for their skills and hard work,” stated the spokesperson.
Supporting local entrepreneurs, especially in troubling times like these, is a commendable act.
