“Our clientele includes loyal customers from Kiribathgoda, Kelaniya, Kadawatha, Gampaha and their surroundings. Kiribathgoda is a trade hub attracting large crowds on a daily basis. We want to get closer to the existing customers as well as potential customers in these areas. We have been extremely selective in opening branches as we want to ensure the same level of quality standards are met, no matter which branch it is. As always, we are conscious of quality more than quantity. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration if I say that Vogue brings gold standards to Kiribathgoda. Actually, to the entire region here.” said, Anura Hemachandra, Managing Director.
The third-generation family-owned business thrives, continuing to widen its horizons, redefining standards in the jewellery industry. Vogue moves on, introducing new design concepts, new production methods and standards and winning international fame, year after year.
Elaborating further on recent developments, Anuradha Hemachandra, Director of Vogue representing the third generation added: “Taking a cue from what my father, our Managing Director said, we have redefined gold standards in this area. You can see creations varying from high investment oriented, heavy-set jewellery such as Vogue Tusker Collection editions to a minimalistic, daily wear. Of course, they include Royal Majestic Collection, Lace Collection and Diamond Necklace Collection. I must add that it’s the trust our customers had in us for the last sixty years that helped us grow in this manner. And we are able to pass on that dividend back to them by heightening our standards. One has to experience our showroom, our creations and also the customer service we offer. It’s like no other. I take this opportunity to invite the discerning customers in Kiribathgoda and its surrounding areas in Gampaha district to drop by and experience what Vogue Jewellers has to offer. You will be amazed by your experience.”
