Dilly’s Avurudu look inspired by folk tales
View(s):Folktales told fondly to children however, encapsulated an entire culture’s values, beliefs and habits. Interwoven into these folktales were the very 
fabric of cultural identity, passed down from generation to generation, in order to groom impressionable young children for life in society.
Dilly’s, the designer store inspired by the beautiful folk tales of Sri Lanka, have used them as the foundation for their Avurudu Batik Collection. Each garment represents an intricate story in itself, with stunning prints and classic shapes!
The mind of a child is brimming with inquisitiveness and ancient hand-made toys such as the ‘Kos kola Otunna’ and miniature windmills made of coconut tree leaves symbolize the simple yet unbounded imagination of a child. Dilly’s has recreated those nostalgic memories by filling their showrooms with these childhood treasures of the past, and if you look close enough you might be able to spot a few for yourself!
