Hello, we're Gabriella
Seemingly elegant.
Comfortably you.
GABRIELLA is a Sri Lankan designer footwear brand bringing together individual style, careful craftsmanship and all-day comfort.
From effortless flat sandals to statement block heels, wedges and platforms, our collections celebrate distinctive designs, colours and materials—made for the moments that matter to you.
Our beginnings
Built from love.
Made to move forward.
Gabriella began in 2014, founded by Hashani de Silva (Perera) shortly after the birth of her daughter, Teshana Gabriella Perera, whose name inspired the brand.
What started as a way to build a flexible business alongside family life soon became a distinctive footwear label. The earliest collections were imported, but unpredictable sizing, shipping delays and limited flexibility made it difficult to deliver the experience Hashani wanted for her customers.
Her answer was to create closer to home. Together with her husband, Tehan Perera, and family members Shanika, Terence and Shavinki Perera, she helped establish Boshitele—a footwear production company bringing Gabriella designs to life in Sri Lanka.
Always focus on making the customer happy.
