The tradition of the loom is one that has been passed on by generations of Sri Lankans. Today the industry faces decline due to various reasons ranging from the lack of skilled expertise, uncompetitive market prices, outdated designs and lack of infrastructure and technology. However, we at Selyn take on this challenge to revive our heritage in order to extend its benefits to our rural women and men. Our dye house gives you all the colors of the rainbow and at our handloom workshops we weave a myriad of fabrics which becomes home textiles, garments and toys. Through the entire process of this color and design, we strive to be socially and environmentally responsible and aim to extend our greatest support to improving the livelihood of our members.
Its time to meet some of the Selyn Family!
