Rich heritage.
The craft of handwoven Dumbara mats have a history of over 300 plus years, tracing its origins to the last royal Kingdom of Sri Lanka, Kandy. The craft has been passed down from generation to generation in the village of Henavala. Nestled in the picturesque hills, artisans continue the craft with pride, precision and passion. [Learn more]
