Gather and Stitch Couture

Gather and Stitch is a bridal and couture label by Helani Sarath-Kumara. Helani takes inspiration from her Sri Lankan South Asian heritage and her modern, western world – the result is a marriage of simple shapes and rich textures.

Every shape is different and we all deserve the perfect fit, especially on one of the most memorable days of our lives. Our mission is for you to feel confidence of a beautifully constructed piece, made especially for you.

You can shop from our online collection (www.shop.gatherandstitch.com) or order from our custom made one off pieces. Between 2010 – 2022 Gather and Stitch has been operating only as a custom order bridal label. Over the past 12 years, Gather and Stitch built a strong reputation for beautifully unique, traditionally inspired, modern pieces.

We truely are a reflection of being born in the east and raised in the west.

In 2022 we started our own collection. With an increasing number of clients from overseas, we wanted you to have a easy, no fuss method of accessing our beautifully handmade clothing. Keeping our handmade ethos and making it accessible worldwide.

Gather and Stitch has a global reputation for traditional Kandiyan Saree’s with a modern twist. The demand for this look was a pleasant surprise! This inspired Helani to create one of the worlds first ready made Kandiyan pieces included in the collection. The Kandiyan Saree will always remain close to our heart.

Whether you are ordering online or getting a custom piece created specifically for you, we love that each piece is handmade for each order. By doing this we are reducing landfill and creating a piece that will stay with you beyond your wedding day. All our pieces can be worn together and individually and mixed and matched with your existing clothes for your future events! Being able to enjoy a Gather and Stitch item many times brings us so much joy.
