Blending fashion with a cause to be passionate about, Embark aims to create a ‘pashionable’ lifestyle, which promotes compassion, love and kindness, and aims to make the Sri Lankan street dog fashionable to own.
Profits earned at all stores go directly towards funding the rescue and treatment of sick, injured and homeless canines, as well as sterilization and vaccination programs in various communities. The organization also offers free vet care for those who have no access to or cannot afford veterinary care for their pets.

“The addition of yet another store to the Embark network is a significant step forward for us, as it helps increase our reach towards customers who love the brand and it also helps us to help more street dogs have a better life. In today’s society many people, especially the younger generation, are very interested in what the brands they wear represent. Many members of the younger generation are deeply invested in causes such as animal welfare and safeguarding the environment. As a brand that is deeply rooted in animal welfare, Embark offers customers the chance to be part of a trend and more importantly a greater cause, by simply visiting a store, selecting something they like, purchasing it and of course looking good in it”, stated Gunewardene.
