Handloom describes the way in which cotton threads are intricately woven together by hand on wooden looms to create vibrant colored patterned cloth. Nature inspired, pure cotton yarn is home spun from cotton plants home grown and dyed with the natural dyes from seeds, bark, roots and flowers. The threads, are then spun into spindles before being used in a pit loom. The spindles in use are the same ones that were used in ancient times. The spinners sit on the floor and use their spinning wheels to spin the cotton fibers into beautiful threads. (Reminds you of Hans Christian Anderson’s fairy tales). Today, the same looms also weave beautiful natural silk cloth , to me colorful scarves, clothes and table runners. Handloom textile weaving is a very rich traditional and cultural heritage in Sri Lanka. Lately a cottage home-based industry with the knowledge passed down through generations. The weaves are very proud of their creations and spend hours at their women pit looms weaving

Laptop Bag 220 - An inspiration from Adventure To travel the world, is to archive something great, something amazing, something that wasn’t possible for hundreds of years until the invention of the aircraft in 1908 which brought this technology to mankind and allowed people to travel anywhere, in a matter of hours. Just as this technology is amazing, and traveling the world is fun, and enjoyable, our devices haven’t kept up with the pace in terms of strength and durability. They have become fragile and vulnerable making us focus more on babysitting a device rather than enjoying it. The Kaysona Laptop Bag 220 is built for the Global Traveller with padding all around to keep any 13 or 15 inch laptop safe from bumps, knocks or even hard landing during touch down in an aircraft.  It can be stored away in a backpack like a laptop sleeve or carried casually, with its double-stitched handle that wraps around the bag which is made from the same material the bag is made of to

Hyperspace Handmade Coconut Ring The new Hyperspace rings, named after the Hyperspace-like-effect on the ring, is made from real Coconut shells in Sri Lanka and comes in white and brown, each is handmade and unique in terms of its pattern and subtle differences in design. When I first wore the Hyperspace ring, the reaction I got was priceless, many people thought it cost thousands of dollars and was made from Ivory and Gold! When I told them it was made from Coconut and the what looked like Gold was steel wire they were in disbelief! I had to take the ring off and let them physically examine it, in order to convince them.  One of the best things about this ring is that, once it’s polished, moisture and humidity are no longer a problem. It can be worn for a long time before it starts showing signs of usage. The best part is, that this ring helps you connect with nature, whether at work or in the city, making an impression wherever you go and complimenting your style in the p

A Dream in a Lunch bag! Ever since my childhood I was fascinated about ancient cars, trains and refrigerators, the idea of something lasting for several years to decades intrigued me. During the early days when cars first started rolling out they were made to last for a long time but as manufacturers realized that a larger profit could be made by creating cars that wouldn’t last very long the longevity of the car reduced. One day at my grandparents house I opened their old refrigerator and thought this is amazing it felt like it was built like a tank and seems like it could withstand anything and at the age of 10 I told myself  “One day I will create cars and refrigerators that will last for sooo many years and will be very strong”. Fast forward 14 years later and I launched Kaysona an E-Commerce website dedicated to help artisans, craftsman and craftswomen who are born talented and highly skilled yet lack the Marketing and Computing skills needed to get their craft in fron
