“Street82 is more than just a clothing brand; it’s an extension of our four-decade journey,” said Street82 Clothing Co-founder Mohamed Fathhi, who is recognised as a tech entrepreneur with a deep-rooted background in technology and extensive experience in Sri Lanka’s startup ecosystem. His expertise and vision have played a pivotal role in shaping Street82’s path.
Street82 Clothing Co-founder Mohamed Zaharan, with over two decades of experience in the clothing and manufacturing industry, complements the team with his profound knowledge of garment manufacturing, design, and exports. Together, they combined their expertise to establish Street82 Clothing, a brand that’s dedicated to quality and style.
Street82’s journey
Street82’s story began in April 2022, inspired by the shared vision of its co-founders to offer menswear, womenswear, and activewear that doesn’t compromise on quality or style. The brand name Street82 pays homage to the co-founders’ birth year, 1982, and symbolises the challenges they’ve overcome on their life’s journey.
This journey began with Street82 as an online retailer, specialising in unisex clothing, filling a void in the Sri Lankan market for high-quality and durable t-shirts. The success of the online store and the growing demand from their loyal customer base have culminated in the grand opening of their flagship store.
Fathhi expressed his enthusiasm for the flagship store, stating: “We guarantee that each outfit is engineered and crafted to perfection, adhering to the highest quality standards. Our upscale clothing reflects the future of fashion, where casual wear is the epitome of style. We take pride in curating unique, limited-quantity pieces to offer exclusivity and individuality.”
By seamlessly bridging the realms of loungewear and casual clothing, Street82 has emerged as a rising star in the premium clothing industry. The brand’s commitment to form and function ensures the production of high-quality, comfortable clothing that reflects a sense of style.
