Authentic Homewares partners with rural artisans and manufacturers in Sri Lanka to produce high quality, hand-crafted homewares and furniture.

The Authentic Homewares collection are made from eco-friendly Sri Lankan materials including cane, wood, hand-woven palm, hand-woven hemp, hand-thrown ceramics, metal and terracotta.

As the owner of Authentic Homewares Building Design I now have the privilege of launching this new and exciting venture, Authentic Homewares

We are a profit for purpose business that focuses its operations with a great social conscience and not just the bottom line. Having been born and growing up in Sri Lanka I have strong ties to the Sri Lankan community that now extends to Brisbane, where I live. My dream is to help create a community of artists and artisans that share their talent on a cross continental scale.

My hope is that through this business we would empower families in rural communities in Sri Lanka to earn a sustainable income and thereby support their families and community at large.

As a Christian, both my businesses are based on the values and strength of character fostered by my faith. I truly believe wealth, no matter what form it takes, needs to be shared for the greater good of all. This is why we work with many local craftspeople to create bespoke pieces of homewares. Each item is hand crafted and holds special significance to me as the designer with the intention that it enriches your lifestyle for a long time to come.

My team and I have worked hard to source all our products from the best craftspeople using the highest quality raw materials. Our range will keep expanding as we grow and it’s exiting to think we are making a true difference in peoples lives along the way.
