Additionally, Amilani Perera serves as the official designer for the Airport & Aviation Services of Sri Lanka, further cementing her influence in the fashion industry.
A graduate of Lasalle College of the Arts in Singapore, Amilani has extensive experience in the global fashion and garment industry.

Avodah Global PTY LTD
Avodah Global manage the end to end garment manufacturing process for you. From design to pattern-making, sourcing fabric, sampling and final production, we take the stress out bringing your brand to market.

We are clothing manufacturers with a difference, providing trafficking survivors and other at risk and vulnerable workers in Cambodia with training, support and safe employment in our ethical and sustainable factory.
We aim to disrupt the global clothing manufacturing model where thousands of workers are forced into unsafe, overcrowded workplaces to mass produce low quality garments, worn for a season and tossed.
This large scale “take make discard” model is not ethical for workers, nor sustainable for the planet. Instead, we are creating a network of small, localised digitally enabled sewing hubs with 30-50 workers each supporting a team of outworkers sewing from home in neighbouring communities. All producing quality garments, adopting good environmental practices and paying workers a living wage.
Our subsidiary, Avodah Manufacturing (Cambodia) works with Cambodian social justice and rescue agencies who rescue women from trafficking and exploitation and provide counselling, education and health support. When these women are ready to be reintegrated into the community and take on full time employment, they require training and a nurturing, supportive work environment. This is what Avodah Manufacturing (Cambodia) offers.
