Vibrant, colourful, and lovingly crafted by local hands – Barefoot Ceylon’s product range encapsulates its country’s cultural heritage and creative spirit in its myriad interwoven strands of bright yarn.
For more than 40 years the name Barefoot has been synonymous with artisan Sri Lankan design, but what was started by Barbara Sansoni as a simple weaving collective based out of a convent workshop has today blossomed into a full-fledged décor brand, with jewel-hued goods spanning hand-dyed and handwoven textiles, home and tableware, bedding, toys, books and art.
Take a spin through Barefoot’s beaut emporium, gallery and bookstore, then retire outside to the positively lovely, frangipani-dappled courtyard café turning out an excellent limed calamari pasta plus fab cakes, and you’ve got two of life’s greatest pleasures covered in one sweet spot.
