Our Story 

Hi, I’m Mihiri,  the amma behind A is for Amma.

 

I was born in Sri Lanka and moved to the United States with my family when I was young. Growing up between cultures, I always felt the push and pull of wanting to stay connected to my roots while building a life here. Culture was something I carried quietly, often wondering how it would show up in the next generation.

​

When I became a mom to my son, William, that feeling became much more real. I knew I wanted him to grow up seeing his culture reflected in everyday moments — in the stories he heard, the clothes he wore, and the world around him.

​

A is for Amma began as a personal passion and grew into a small, intentional brand rooted in representation, childhood, and cultural pride. Through books and apparel, I create pieces inspired by Sri Lankan culture — designed to feel subtle, modern, and cozy, while still holding deep meaning.

​

Every piece is made with love and the belief that our tiny island deserves to be represented.

​

Thank you for being here.
