Kia & Kel Unveils 2026 Avurudu Collection with Personalized Family Designs

As Sri Lankan families prepare to welcome the Sinhala and Tamil New Year, homegrown kidswear brand Kia & Kel has launched its 2026 Avurudu collection, bringing together tradition, comfort, and modern design in a range created for the entire family.

The latest collection marks a significant expansion for the brand, introducing matching family outfits, personalized T-shirts, and festive tote bags, alongside its signature kidswear pieces. Designed for babies, toddlers, and young children, the collection now extends to parents as well, encouraging families to celebrate Avurudu in a coordinated style.

A key highlight this year is the personalization feature, allowing selected T-shirts to be customized with a child’s name, transforming each outfit into a meaningful keepsake for families.

The collection also introduces Avurudu-themed tote bags, combining style and practicality for the festive season. Ideal for carrying New Year treats or gifts, these tote bags complement the clothing line while expanding Kia & Kel’s product offering.

Crafted using soft, breathable cotton fabrics, the outfits are designed to keep children comfortable in Sri Lanka’s warm April climate, while allowing freedom of movement during traditional games and family gatherings. Bright colours and playful prints inspired by Avurudu traditions further enhance the festive appeal.

A Brand Built by Parents, for Parents

Kia & Kel was co-founded by Nayodya Perera and Sriyan Rajapaksha, combining expertise in digital marketing and software engineering to build a modern Sri Lankan kidswear brand with a strong focus on both design and customer experience.

The inspiration behind the brand stemmed from Nayodya’s journey as a mother, where she identified a gap in the local market for children’s clothing that balances comfort, quality, and style. With Sriyan’s technical expertise supporting the brand’s e-commerce growth, the duo transformed this idea into a growing business rooted in family values.

Built on the philosophy of “comfy yet cute,” Kia & Kel has steadily gained popularity among Sri Lankan parents by creating products that are not only practical but also emotionally meaningful.

Celebrating Avurudu with Meaningful Moments

With the introduction of family matching outfits, the 2026 Avurudu collection reflects a growing shift towards shared family experiences and memory-making during festive occasions.

From coordinated looks for New Year rituals to personalized outfits for gifting, Kia & Kel’s latest collection goes beyond clothing — offering families a way to celebrate togetherness in a more meaningful and memorable way.

A Collection Designed for the Whole Family

The 2026 Avurudu collection caters to babies, toddlers, kids, and now parents, allowing families to celebrate the New Year in a coordinated style. The introduction of family designs marks a significant step for the brand, encouraging shared experiences and memorable moments during the festive season.

These coordinated outfits are ideal for traditional rituals, family gatherings, and capturing picture-perfect Avurudu memories.

Personalization Takes Center Stage

A key highlight of the collection is the brand’s personalization feature, which allows selected T-shirts to be customized with a child’s name. This offering transforms everyday festive wear into meaningful keepsakes, adding emotional value for families and making the outfits ideal for gifting.

Festive Tote Bags Add a Functional Touch

Expanding beyond apparel, Kia & Kel has also introduced Avurudu-themed tote bags, designed to complement the festive collection. These bags offer both style and practicality, making them perfect for carrying Avurudu treats, gifts, or daily essentials during the season.
