The Design Collective

Share

Multi branded fashion retail store featuring brands from Sri Lanka and South East Asia. TDC encourages group collaboration and female leadership in fashion.

The Design Collective was founded by two friends, Binu Wickramasinghe and Shahili Gomes, as a place to share their love for fashion, design, art and travel. TDC is aimed at promoting designers from Sri Lanka and elsewhere in South East Asia by providing a unique retail space in which to showcase their designs. TDC is a place not just to buy and sell, but to learn and create.

How Do You Like It?

An open conversation about intimacy, desire, pleasure, and learning what we want.

Led by Everystory, this conversation explores what pop culture has taught us about relationships and intimacy, how we communicate what we want, the different ways people experience pleasure, and whether there really is a “right” way to connect.

Come for a lovely drink. Stay for the questions, stories, and the things we were never taught to say out loud.
