Kadadasi || Mother Sri Lanka || Quaintrelle by Chiran || Meraki by Dinesh || Made in Ceylon || Love SL
Simple, passionate and Colorful. Desing and love are the same thing in a different light. It’s just a process of seeing your self in things that are not you.
Quaintrelle by Chiran’, is a brand of hand painted jewelry, where ‘painted stories’ are made. It is a journey of a small business that began on a whim, and is continuing to evolve & grow with time.
A core foundation of the brand is individuality as we strive to create the perfect bits of wearable art for each person, which is also why every piece of jewelry is meticulously designed & painted. We try to be as gentle as we can in our impact on the environment.
It has been a fantastic ride, quaintrelling, and adding bits of colour & happiness to the world.
Made In Ceylon is a concept where we bring talents of local artisans to the global market. Sri Lanka is filled with amazing creativity and products and we create a platform for all these artisans to create products and designs for the brand Made In Ceylon.
Mother Sri Lanka is a 100% Sri Lankan non-profit organization on fostering responsible citizens and promoting livelihood development. All proceeds from the sale of these products support our island wide programs with children and marginalize communities. All our products are especially designed by local artists to depict Sri Lankan culture, art and symbols. Most of the items are 100% made in Sri Lanka using local raw material and individually crafted and handmade by self- employed local craftsmen and women.

Kadadasi is a local enterprise located in Bollatha near Kandana which focuses on empowering women and inspiring change through recycling. Women from the neighbourhood are trained and empowered and works with them to transform waste into recycled products. This inevitably provides eco-friendly practices in their community. Kadadasi recycles discarded office paper, local grasses, banana fibre, and other agricultural waste and even old, shredded bank noted via a partnership with the Central Bank of Sri Lanka. Taking a step further even the production facility was constructed from recycled building materials. Kadadasi has been awarded the EU Organic certification for their commitment preserving the environment.
To provide a safe space for children of the community to develop the ability to read and interact with learning material, to cultivate a love for learning and illumination of the mind.
We aim to build a state-of-the-art learning hub which would include a library section, complete with a reading corner, a mini-Lego land and a hand work/craft area, a tech sphere with state-of-the-art smart screens and a few iPads and headphones at selected orphanages and primary schools in Sri Lanka.
It is hoped that this will entice the children to venture into the hub and engage in learning in different forms, model their dreams and hopes through creations and travel in time and space through the magical world of books, while seated in comfort at the hatch.
Join with us to spill happiness and sunshine into the lives of these children.
Team members of My sunshine charity are scattered across the globe. If you are from outside Sri Lanka please contact the lead trustee to arrange for the regional team members to get in touch with you.
