Our purpose
Craft, Connected
Thambapannii brings together generations of Sri Lankan craftsmanship and the modern international customer. We celebrate cultural heritage, independent makers and the techniques that have been handed down through families and villages.
At a glance
What You Should Know
- What we are
- An online marketplace and discovery space for independent Sri Lankan artisans, craft workshops and small traditional makers.
- What we are not
- We are not a manufacturer and we do not own the products. Every piece is made and sold by the artisan who created it.
- How it works
- Customers discover artisans and products here, then contact the artisan directly. Artisans manage pricing, payment, packaging and delivery.
- Why it matters
- Traditional techniques survive when the people who practise them can reach customers. We want to make that easier, without taking the craft out of the maker’s hands.
