Upul Viraj Karunaratne

Master of tailoring, now teaching apprentices

  • 🇱🇰 Colombo, Western, Sri Lanka
  • Queensway Trades Guild
  • 1985 to 1993
  • English, Sinhala
I've worked in tailoring from 1985 to 1993. I learned from my father and passed what I could on to 220 apprentices. The best compliment I ever got was a customer who called me back 21 years later for another job. It has been a good run and I'm grateful for all of it.
