Crafting Senses, Shaping Futures
Each piece begins with touch. We draw from sound, scent, and movement to create garments that carry stories — grounded in heritage, shaped for now.
Future-Forward
heritage - sustainability
ARALU crafts soulful, futuristic WEAVES that blend emotion and innovation.
ARALU is a textile-led studio weaving together fashion, scent, sound, and tactile memory. Rooted in Sri Lankan heritage and based in London, our crafts extends into spaces where fabric hums, scents linger, and silence is dyed with meaning.

Material Design
Custom textiles rooted in Sri Lankan traditions, developed through handloom, zero-waste patterning, and organic dye research. Each piece is a conversation between touch, process, and place.
Olfactory Form
Natural fragrances drawn from climate, ritual, and memory. From rusted iron to wet teak and lemongrass, we build layered scent profiles that live within the garment.
Sonic Archiving
Field recordings of loom rhythm, rail yards, and coastal soundscapes are captured and layered into works — embedding atmosphere as a living memory.
Curation
We compose experiences — runway, exhibition, installation — that integrate cloth, sound, scent, and movement. Each element is tuned to emotion, space, and collective memory.

Document the Unseen in Every Thread
Our process begins with listening... to the grain of cloth, the pulse of place, the silence between gestures. We record more than sound: the friction of hand on hemp, the hush of salt air, the weight of stillness. These traces shape the garment from within.
Layer Texture, Scent, and Light
We treat every garment like a score ... blending indigo vapour, copper-dyed cotton, and recorded breath into wearable space. Notes of lemongrass, rust, and sea drift through each layer. Nothing is added for effect; everything arises from the material itself.
