In Colombo a must stop would be the Barefoot Gallery

The name barefoot represents what is spontaneous and in touch with the earth. Barefoot is about people. It is a story of simplicity. We are about the craft of weaving and the art of design. Barbara Sansoni’s designs of brilliant colour and simple geometry have given our cloth its internationally recognizable character. In 1964 Barbara Sansoni, an artist, was invited to design for women learning to weave in a convent workshop just north of Colombo. 

Today, Barefoot, the company she founded has a band of dedicated designers providing training, designs, and raw materials. There are no factories and no production lines; each worker is responsible for the quality of his or her final product. The Barefoot experience, shop, art gallery, bookshop and courtyard café, offers you a kaleidoscope of colour, good design, wonderful art and delightful music – an oasis right in the center of Colombo Web Site
