Craft to Empower

We go out of the way to assist our network to develop workshop infrastructure, upgrade design and technical skills and ensure a guaranteed flow of work. In addition, our members have access to services such as health camps, child-care facilities, life skills programmes and leadership trainings.

Rural Workshops

All our workshops are in handloom villages in the rural outskirts of Sri Lanka so that our artisans may work within the comfort of their own homes.

Building Capacities

We are committed to uplifting the living standards of rural artisans by providing them with the opportunities to access work and the skills to stay at work. Following fair-trading practices, we hope not only to empower our network financially but also create a way of life within which they will thrive.

One and Only

We are Sri Lankau2019s only Fair Trade guaranteed Handloom company and throughout the entire process of colour and design, our people are our priority.

And every Selyn toy is made just for the little hands and minds to stimulate imagination, language, communication and sensory skills. Just a few reasons why you should buy a toy that makes a difference.

  • Fairtrade is more than fair wages and safe working conditions. Fairtrade is also about being sustainable. Not only that we care for our artisans, but we also care for the environment they, us, we all live in. Selyn Fairtrade products are made from toxin-free yarn, and the wastewater from the dyeing process is treated and used to grow vegetables at our home garden. Isn't that a great reason to smile as big as this skilled gentleman? We think so. Shop good. Choose fairtrade 💛 . . . . . . . . #selyn #fairtrade #srilanka #sthribyselyn #empoweringwomen #accessories #fairtradefashion #sustainablefashion #supportlocal #sustainableliving #livefair #artisanmade #handmade #upcycle #shoppingincolombo #slowfashion #giftideas #ethicalgifts #fashiontrends #ecofashion #crueltyfree #fairtradestyle #fairtradecertified #ecofriendly #ecofriendlyclothingcompany
