What do you mean? If it is cotton in stores for "our" tourists - this is often of low quality, you need to look for more good, and brazenly high price, which must be inhumanly knocked down. If this is, for example, House of Fashions, then this is a store for locals with low fixed prices for cotton items (and indeed for everything): for example, a women's blouse is 495 rupees, a skirt is 390 rupees (I remind you, $ 1 = 108 rupees).

But no))) It's just that there are few tourists there. 98% of buyers were local. But I saw a couple of white faces there, in fact, and I was fabulously stingy there as much as $ 65 ...))) Therefore, I advise you to go: this is a store in Colombo, a 4-storey shopping center.

And the quality is normal for women and men. We got on the sale days, there were a lot of people, the sizes - even those that were not on sale - were few - especially for men. And for myself, I picked up 2 blouses and 2 skirts made of natural cotton, dyed with natural paint with local ornaments. I bought sundresses, t-shirts, skirts for the child .... I am very satisfied. Funny money. Well, the quality and models of children's clothing just pleased me!

Textile products, if you meant it, as Marysa-Klimova has already noted, are solid and quite affordable.
For example: very high quality sewn t-shirt (T-shirt) with souvenir symbols (plots on the Sri Lankan theme - elephants / monkeys / crocodiles, etc.), the seams are even, the edges are swept up, washing is not terrible (does not shed) - in the ODEL shopping center from 500 up to 900 rupees (~ 4.5 - 8.5 dollars). Guaranteed - cotton, not blends.
Women's clothing in the same ODEL - from 6-8 dollars for a blouse to 25 dollars for dresses, sundresses.
The raincoat (branded, GAP) cost me as much as 23 dollars ;) But with this - how lucky: some groups manage to buy a bunch of little things - for kids, mothers, grandmothers, themselves ...
Others assure: there is nothing to choose...
For 10 years of work in Lanka, I have been spoiled for choice and prices, but to think that you will bring from there what is in the windows of Parndorf in Vienna is a ridiculous idea.
Don't make big plans - and you'll leave with a nice new thing = a surprise... You're daydreaming: I'll buy NEXT, and MNG, and Monsoon, and Esprit - and suddenly they won't be there by your arrival...
Besides ODEL, I like Cotton Collection and ethno clothes at Barefoot (both stores in Colombo-3).
