Softlogic was the worst thing that happened to Odel.

Hi Otara. Thank you for sharing your journey. I'm from Singapore and I used to shop regularly at Odel for many years until it was sold to Softlogic. The clothes and accessories were beautiful! So much variety! A little bit sad that it is not what it used to be. I don't shop there anymore. But I commend you for giving up all of that in order to focus on the street animals. God will truly bless you for your kindness and empathy towards these helpless animals. I wish you all the best. ❤️

I used to walk past the first ODEL outlet every day on my way to school in the 90s. Throughout my school years, I would look at it and think, “This place is only for high-class people.” So I never visited it at that time. If I had to name two remarkable women who have truly inspired me, they would be Princess Diana and Otara 🥰

Hi Otara,
ODEL is the brand store that I felt I'm living In somewhere out from Sri Lanka, I saw when I was in my childhood. That's what I felt about working abroad and now I started my own home business. when I saw this your life journey, I felt it and it's all about motivation to me. thank you for sharing your life journey with us. 🥰

Though Odel experienced a decline after its acquisition by Softlogic, and that was truly sad for many of us 😭, it ultimately led you to do what you most desired in life. I’m happy for you ❤️
