It's been a while



The KissinCussin’s have had a little break from this blog while we’ve been busy nurturing the foundations of our label, but we’ve since come to realise there is so much love, care and unique experience that goes into each piece that must go unnoticed. We are after all a label ‘made with love’ and hopefully the coming posts (which we vow to update regularly) will show you why.

As a start we wanted to give some insight into vastly colourful life we’ve created here in Sri Lanka, very lucky that we are to spend 3-4 months each year creating our designs and manufacturing with the wonderful ladies in our beloved ‘Talalla Bay’.

The following pics mainly feature the Peraherra festivals which take place from May through to August in Sri Lanka in many of the villages and bigger towns. They are religious festivals (Buddhist mainly) highlighting the birth, day and enlightenment day of the lord Buddha … think drumming, chanting, trumpets, dancing, elephants, costume and lots of Sri Lankan smiles and laughter. So colourful, so unique … hope you enjoy xx
