About Us
Founded in 2013, EKKO is a sustainable lifestyle fashion brand for Men and Women with an initiative of ethically-driven sourcing and production practices.
A responsible wardrobe solution defined by expert craftsmanship that provides both stylish and purposeful value.
Our Philosophy
Having consistency in product quality, workmanship, and sourcing materials from ethical channels are the key ingredients to our philosophy.
As a brand, we are also dedicated to protecting the well-being of our employees, the communities we operate in, and the environment that sustains us.
These values are what EKKO is built on and is the drive behind our product range and the collections we release, carefully curated to embody a relevant and responsible lifestyle fashion wardrobe.
Product Integrity
We handpick fibers that perform best to suit the needs of our customers worldwide, offering the utmost comfort, durability, and premium quality.
To ensure consistency, we only source the finest materials which are pre-tested before use.
Our selection ranges from Pure Linen & Linen Blends made from European Flax, Premium Cotton, Supima Cotton, Viscose, Rayon, Synthetic Surfaces, and more.
Careful thought goes into every design we create, from the choice of threads to the buttons we use and every season, we integrate more organic & recycled fibres into our collections.
Birth of the Brand
EKKO is the brainchild of Lalantha Watudura, an expert with decades of exposure and insider knowledge in the fashion industry.
"I was first exposed to the fashion and apparel industry growing up as a child when I was assisting my mother in her Batik & Handloom business, where my curiosity and interest in the industry initially sparked. So naturally I had wanted to pursue a career in fashion since a young age. In 1990 I started my career in the global fashion apparel industry, and by 2001, I became an independent sourcing partner; servicing multiple international clothing brands. This experience coupled with my passion for excellence and responsible fashion grew my desire to carve my own path in the industry, which led to the birth of EKKO in 2013. The idea behind EKKO was to create a reflection of lifestyle and a fashion brand for Men & Women that provides a complete wardrobe solution. I believe our commitment to product integrity and ethically-made fashion is what will allow us to sustain globally.
When you have the conviction to do something and challenge yourself, doors will always open.”
