was set up in 1994 by husband and wife Upul and Diane, with the aim of providing an outlet for items produced by small craft enterprises in Sri Lanka. All the products are handmade by seven family enterprises.

Each business is independent and supplies direct to Lanka Kade. They work closely together to maintain, improve, and update working practices and understanding of fair trade. Lanka Kade is currently assisting three suppliers with long term interest free loans so they can development their businesses.

All the businesses provide safe and pleasant working conditions, equal opportunities, good rates of pay, and prompt payment for employees and in country suppliers.

Many of the products are made from rubberwood sourced from exhausted rubber plantations. The trees need to be replanted every 10 to 15 years.
