I Love the Sari Bar - Sari - six yards of attitude!
This has to be one of my favourite ads for a saree store.
Sari - six yards of attitude!
It is from the store ODEL in Sri Lanka
This is a picture of the Sari Bar in Colombo.
We have a stunning new concept at Odel Select – Sri Lanka’s first Sari Bar. Stocked with stunning saris from both Sri Lanka and India, the latest designs, fabrics and colours, our collection is second to none! Not only does our selection extend from glamorous to feminine, day and night wear, but we have exceptional bridal sari’s, guaranteed to make you look and feel like royalty on your special day!
With departments of complementary jewellery, accessories, shoes, bags and shawls – you don’t need to go anywhere else, visit the Sari Bar now to see why!
The person behind the concept is Otara Gunawardena.

For the uninitiated, the Odel store at no. 05 Alexandra Road, Colombo 7 is more than a store. Set inside a massive former colonial residence, the store offers everything men’s and women’s wear to home furnishings and a dedicated section for “nature and souvenirs”. Spanning several well-adorned floors, the store is cutting edge retail therapy for Colombo’s discerningly fashionable and even a tourist attraction.
Odel offers a Lifestyle! Otara says, “I have always strived to position the Odel store in much the same way as Harrods of London or C.K. Tangs in Singapore. One doesn’t go to such outlets with a specific aim of buying a particular thing. You go there for an experience. And you know that you will always get products that are unique, and are of extremely high quality”.

oh, wish I had seen this Sari Bar when I visited Sri Lanka last July! It would have been paradise for me.
