Crafting Futures Pop-Up: Shop the Collaborations

A special marketplace celebrating the outcomes of the EU–Sri Lanka Craft Matchmaking Programme.

This is a rare opportunity to purchase beautifully made, small-batch craft products created through cross-cultural partnerships that blend heritage techniques with contemporary design.

You’ll find:

• jewellery
• fashion and clothing
• handloom textiles
• homewares and lifestyle products
• upcycled and circular design pieces

Each piece carries a story of craftsmanship, collaboration and cultural exchange, supporting micro and small enterprises who are building sustainable creative livelihoods.

The pop-up brings together:

• Sri Lankan artisans working in handloom, batik, natural fibres, upcycling and jewellery
• European and UK designers who have co-created new collections
• products developed through months of dialogue, field visits, mentoring and co-design

By visiting, you are not just shopping – you are supporting:

• fair creative collaboration
• women- and youth-led rural enterprises
• sustainable and low-impact production
• the future of traditional craft skills

Come browse, meet the makers, hear the stories behind the products – and take home something made with care, skill and meaning.

Whether you are a designer, buyer, collector, student, or lover of craft, this is an event not to miss.
