The range debuted at Colombo Fashion Week’s SWIM edition in August 2015. Employing seasonal shades of blue, yellow and purple, Rum Punch designer Rukshika Fernando Seneviratne uses a colour-blocking technique together with printed and mesh fabrics, contrast binding and reflective tape for the collection.
Dilly & Carlo has stores at Flower Road, Chatham Street, the Crescat Boulevard, Liberty Plaza and K Zone Ja-Ela. Their Flower Road store will carry the new swimwear and beachwear options from the ‘Active Tribal’ collection.
This includes two and one piece swimsuits, with removable cups, that suit diverse silhouettes. The swimwear is complemented by hip beach wraps that create the perfect look for the beach season.
Notably, the collection also carries a reversible style that can be worn as two different looks – effectively, two swimsuits with one purchase.
Rukshika is keen to give her customers opportunities for experimentation, “This is what fashion is about.
The idea of one swimsuit that can be worn in various ways is exciting – it gives me the opportunity to experiment and my customer great value for their money,” she says.
Rum Punch is also the only Sri Lankan brand to be available on Zalora.com – Asia’s largest online fashion retailer.
