Entre amis (Among friends) with Lahi

We are starting this new year with a brand new editorial series called "Entre amis" ("Among friends"), in which we highlight inspiring individuals who share a close connection with the world of Bonnegueule.

We are delighted to welcome Lahiru Weladawe, also known as Lahi, as our first guest. Through his Parisian restaurant, Kolam, and his creative agency, Kolam Studio, Lahi strives to celebrate and showcase Sri Lankan culture, reflecting his own roots.

Dinard shirt and Akita cargo pants (soon)

Focus on the Dinard shirt and its handcrafted dyeing process; the Akita cargo pants are made of Ripstop fabric (coming soon).

Shades of brown and textures with the Montmartre coat, Pietro turtleneck sweater in wool and cashmere, and the Dinard shirt.

Charcoal Bomera cardigan and Poetto herringbone trousers in ecru (coming soon).

Parisian by adoption, Lahi has nurtured a sincere passion for clothing for many years. A great admirer of Japanese fashion, he appreciates its subtle minimalism, well-crafted cuts, and the sharp, avant-garde brands that define it.

Confident in his style, Lahi chooses to buy less but better. He favors timeless pieces that are easy to pair but still carry character and personality. Comfort is also essential, allowing him to shine behind the stove.

Layering composed of the Volpaia shirt, the Bomera cardigan, and the Alserio jacket.

The Bomera cardigan in pure merino wool pairs perfectly with the Poetto herringbone trousers in ecru (available soon).

This shoot, captured on film, shines a light on the raw poetry of Parisian winter vibes.Warm woolens meet thick cotton fabrics with remarkable textures, forming silhouettes of understated elegance that reinterpret our seasonal pieces.

We also offer you an exclusive preview of the new Akita ripstop cotton pants and Poetto herringbone trousers, coming soon.
