Sri Lanka is a land of hidden masterpieces. From the intricate lace-making in the southern coastal villages of Galle to the vibrant palmyrah weaving in the northern reaches of Jaffna, our island is home to thousands of artisans who carry centuries of tradition in their hands.

However, for too long, these incredible creators have been separated from the modern world by a lack of digital access. Today, we change that.

Our Mission: More than just a Marketplace

Craftory was built on a simple yet powerful belief: The hands that create should be the hands that prosper. We didn’t just want to build another e-commerce site; we wanted to build a bridge. Craftory is a decentralized multi-vendor marketplace designed specifically for the local artisan. By removing the traditional "middleman," we ensure that when you buy a piece of Sri Lankan heritage, the artisan receives the respect and the reward they deserve.

Bridging the Gap from Galle to Jaffna

Whether it is a master woodcarver in the hill country or a young entrepreneur creating eco-friendly coconut shell cutlery, Craftory provides them with a global storefront.

Our mission covers three core pillars:

Direct Connection: No intermediaries. You buy directly from the workshop.
Preservation: By making traditional crafts profitable, we encourage the next generation to keep these skills alive.
Authenticity: Every item on Craftory has a soul and a story. This blog is where those stories will live.
