WEAVING HERITAGE, EMPOWERING ARTISANS

Welcome to Foxfoot, where passion for Sri Lankan batik meets a commitment to preserving its soul.

We’re more than just a brand – we share a passion for a timeless art form, a connection to the vibrant soul of Sri Lanka, and a commitment to preserving traditional craftsmanship. Born from a deep love for Sri Lanka’s vibrant artistic legacy, our journey began with a simple mission: to share the magic of authentic batik with the world while uplifting the artisans who create it.

Our Story: The Love for Batik

It started with the mesmerising dance of wax and dye – the intricate patterns, the vivid colours, the unmistakable “crackle” whispering of patient hands. We fell in love not just with the beauty of batik shawls, but with the centuries-old art behind them. Frustrated by seeing local artisans undervalued and traditions at risk, we knew we had to act. Foxfoot was born to bridge the gap: connecting you to exquisite, premium quality batik while ensuring the makers thrive.

Our Heartbeat: Supporting Sri Lanka’s Batik Artists

For us, batik isn’t just fabric; it’s a living heritage carried by independent artists and small workshops across Sri Lanka. These aren’t anonymous factories – they’re families, masters, and passionate individuals who’ve spent years mastering the art of batik and pouring skill and spirit into every piece. That’s why supporting them is at our core. We do this by:

Fair & Direct Partnerships:

We work closely with artisans and small studios, ensuring they receive dignified, transparent compensation for their mastery. Every shawl you buy directly supports their craft and livelihood.

Preserving Tradition:

We champion time-honoured techniques – the skilled use of the canting tool, the art of layered dyeing. We help keep these irreplaceable skills alive.

Empowering Creativity:

We provide a sustainable platform for artists to showcase their unique designs and cultural narratives, helping their voices reach a global audience.

This direct relationship allows us to offer you pieces that are not only beautiful but also ethically produced, supporting sustainable livelihoods and empowering local communities. When you purchase from Foxfoot, you’re not just acquiring an exquisite item; you’re investing in a living tradition and making a tangible difference in the lives of the artisans who bring it to life.

Our promise to you: Authenticity & Beauty

Every Foxfoot Batik product is a unique creation. From the initial design sketch to the final wash, each step is performed by hand, making every shawl, sarong, or wall hanging truly one-of-a-kind. The subtle variations, the delicate “crackle” effect – these aren’t imperfections, but hallmarks of authenticity, telling the story of its handmade journey. We are committed to offering you:

Authenticity: Genuine Sri Lankan handmade batik.
Quality: Premium fabrics and enduring dyes.
Ethical Sourcing: Direct support for skilled independent artisans and their communities.
Unique Artistry: A piece of wearable or decorative art that tells its own story.

We invite you to discover the enduring allure of Sri Lankan Batik and be a part of our mission. Together, we’ll celebrate the art, honour the hands, and keep the vibrant spirit of Sri Lankan batik alive.
