We are kind and compassionate

We believe in a Sri Lanka that is compassionate. A Sri Lanka that recognises the value of all living things, where people, animals and the environment are treated with respect. We ensure that there is no harm done by the people and processes in our supply line, from our creators to our customers.

We support our local community

Buying local makes a difference. It enables all people to participate more fully and positively in their community. It leads to long lasting and mutually beneficial relationships. It means more money stays within the community, boosting the local economy. It enables families to have a better quality of life. And as our communities grow and develop, so does our nation as a whole.

We ensure that our products are sourced and created in a responsible manner, that animals and the environment are not harmed in the process, and our creators are treated with dignity. Everyone benefits when we are fair and ethical in our conduct.

We protect our environment

We believe in being responsible stewards of our home and we are committed to making conscious decisions that do not harm the environment. By shopping wisely, educating ourselves and others, choosing sustainable products and being a voice for the voiceless, we can ensure a better future for all.

We are cruelty free

We love all animals and choose to live a life that respects them and does not harm them. Our products are cruelty-free and animal friendly.
