9. Dumbara and Cane handcraft

Dumbara is a coarse fabric usually sourced from Kandy in Sri Lanka, and then woven together to create durable products like bags, mats, wallets, baskets, and lamps. Since it’s a tough material, you’ll find most products made out of this cane-like fabric in straightforward geometric patterns.

  4. Sri Lanka being an island and very rich in its natural resources we could proudly say we try to make maximum use of it. And this is an area where we make use of the resources that we have.

    We need to talk more about these areas to bring more awareness. Great work that you are doing keep up the good work
