Kia & Kel Story

Kia & Kel is more than just a clothing brand—it's a heartfelt journey inspired by love, parenthood, and a desire to make life a little brighter for families. Founded by Nayodya Perera and Sriyan Rajapaksha, this dynamic brand was born out of their personal experience as parents to their daughter, Kiara. Named after her nickname, ‘Kia,’ the brand is a tribute to the countless little moments that make parenthood so special.

For Nayodya, the struggle to find clothes that were both adorable and comfortable for her baby in Sri Lanka was personal. As she dressed her little girl with care and joy, she realized how challenging it was for local parents to access affordable yet stylish options. The frustration of paying high shipping fees for international brands drove her to imagine a better way—not just for herself, but for all Sri Lankan families.

With Sriyan’s technical expertise and Nayodya’s passion for eCommerce, Kia & Kel was created to fill this gap. Every piece of clothing is thoughtfully chosen to bring smiles to both children and parents. Starting from a handful of items imported from China, the brand has blossomed into a curated collection of 50 products, from playful dresses to cozy pajamas and practical essentials like hats and toothbrushes.

At its heart, Kia & Kel is about celebrating parenthood and the simple joys of seeing your child happy and comfortable. Their tagline, 'Little Moments, Big Smiles,' isn’t just a slogan—it’s their mission. Whether it’s a child’s first steps in a soft cotton T-shirt or a bedtime story in comfy pajamas, Kia & Kel aims to be part of these cherished moments.

Looking ahead, Nayodya and Sriyan dream of touching even more families, expanding their range and their reach, all while staying true to what matters most—giving parents an affordable way to bring joy and comfort to their little ones. With Kia & Kel, they invite every parent to experience the magic of those little moments that turn into lifelong memories.

Our tagline, 'Little Moments, Big Smiles,' reflects our commitment to creating joyful, comfortable clothing for kids—because we believe happy kids make happy parents."
