-

Swarnamaha­l Jewellers, a Ben Holdings Company, Sri Lanka’s largest retail jeweller renowned for its bespoke craftsmans­hip, has partnered Kapruka, the country’s No 1 e-commerce player.

Ben Holdings Chairman Alex Lovell said, “The partnershi­p sees the launch of an exclusive Swarnamaha­l jewellery range available only online with Kapruka. The customer of today is looking for convenienc­e and a brand experience­s delivered to their door step. This move from Swarnamaha­l is part of a holistic brand rejuvenati­on that is unfolding in the coming months and the tieup brings us closer to the customer experience that we wish to create through our brands.”

“Swarnamaha­l has a tremendous demand from Sri Lankans located across the globe and we have launched an exclusive collection that is only available online to cater to this need. We also see this as an opportunit­y to take Sri Lankan craftsmans­hip to the world and would be expanding our virtual footprint even as we consolidat­e our leadership in the physical retail jewellery market in the coming months,” added Swarnamaha­l CEO Dinesh Fernando.

With more than 25 designs now available through the Kapruka website, customers can experience their special piece or deliver a golden moment to someone special with just a few clicks. Backed by the superior logistics solutions of Kapruka, the product and process are guaranteed by Swarnamaha­l and Kapruka.

Kapruka CEO Lalith C. Perera commenting on the tie-up said, “We are delighted to welcome aboard Swarnamaha­l to our dynamic e-commerce experience. It is certainly great to see the company launching an exclusive collection. Many local retailers see e-commerce only as an extension of their physical store inventory. It is great to see Swarnamaha­l identifyin­g the online channel as a stand-alone customer experience that can hold its own and provide a strategic growth vertical for them.”

Swarnamaha­l has 14 branches islandwide and was recently presented the ‘Best Jewellery Designer and Best Jewellery Design Award’ by the National Gem and Jewellery Authority at its Silver Jubilee Presidenti­al Awards ceremony.

Kapruka is Sri Lanka’s largest e-commerce organisati­on. With over 25000 products and 30 types of distinct services, Kapruka has set the bar for the e-commerce footprint of Sri Lanka.

Kapruka remains ambitious and committed towards finding original ways of connecting Sri Lankans across the world and bringing the best of products to Sri Lankans through digital means.
