“I’m K. Padmasiri, a clay pot maker continuing my village tradition. For a long time, I struggled to sell my work and earn a steady income. Lakarcade gave my pottery a place in front of local and international buyers.”
මම කේ. පද්මසිරි, පාරම්පරික මැටි භාණ්ඩ නිර්මාණ ශිල්පියෙක්. බොහෝ කාලයක් මගේ භාණ්ඩ විකුණා ගැනීමට සහ ජීවිකා ආදායමක් ලැබීමට මට අපහසු වුණා.
“I’m Padma Jayanthi, a batik artist carrying my family’s tradition. For years, I struggled to find value for my craft in the local market. Lakarcade recognized my work and brought it to international customers.”
මම පද්මා ජයන්ති, පාරම්පරික බැටික් ශිල්පිනියක්. අවුරුදු ගණනාවක් මගේ කලාපාරම්පරික ව්යාපාරයට වටිනාකමක් ලබා දීමට මට අසීරු විය.
“I’m Sarath Kumara, a traditional mask maker. For years, it was hard to continue my family craft and support my home. Lakarcade gave me a platform to showcase my masks to the world.”
මම සරත් කුමාර, අම්බලන්ගොඩ පාරම්පරික මුහුණු කළාකරුවෙක්. අවුරුදු ගණනාවක් පාරම්පරික ශිල්පය පවත්වා ගැනීමත් ගෙදරට උපකාර කිරීමත් අසීරු විය.
“I’m K. Padmasiri, a clay pot maker continuing my village tradition. For a long time, I struggled to sell my work and earn a steady income. Lakarcade gave my pottery a place in front of local and international buyers. Today, my craft not only feeds my family but also keeps our heritage alive.”

நான் கே. பத்மசிரி, எங்கள் கிராம பாரம்பரியத்தைத் தொடரும் மண் பானை கலைஞர். நீண்ட காலமாக என் படைப்புகளை விற்று நிலையான வருமானம் பெறுவது கடினமாக இருந்தது.

நான் பத்மா ஜயந்தி, எங்கள் பாரம்பரியத்தைத் தொடர்ந்துவரும் படிக் கலைஞர். உள்ளூர் சந்தையில் என் கைவினைக்கு மதிப்பு காண்பது கடினமாக இருந்தது.
“I’m Sarath Kumara, a traditional mask maker from Ambalangoda. For years, it was hard to continue my family craft and support my home. Lakarcade gave me a platform to showcase my masks to the world. Today, my art is my livelihood, and my family’s future is secure.”

நான் சரத் குமாரா, அம்பலங்கொடையில் பாரம்பரிய முகமூடி தயாரிப்பாளர். என் குடும்பத்தின் கைவினையைத் தொடர்வதும் வாழ்வாதாரத்தைப் பாதுகாப்பதும் கடினமாக இருந்தது.

EXCELLENT Based on 196 reviews Posted on lisha CVerified Review My experience was really great, Mr. Prince was nice and helpful. Made the best puchase. Thank youPosted on Swetha VVerified One-stop authentic shop for Srilankan souvenirs Wonderful shop to buy Srilankan souvenirs. One stop shop for quality products is what I felt. We also had excellent help from Pavitran at the shop to help us understand the origin of the artifacts.Posted on AYB360Verified Super! Great store and super staff! Quality Lankan products and wide selection! I always visit when on holiday!Posted on Jay AVerified Best All under one roof! Excellent service! My go to place when in sri lanka 🇱🇰Posted on vindi wVerified Excellent selection of souvenirs A nice shopping experience where you have a great selection of authentic Sri Lankan souvenirs! Special thanks to Mr. Thilak for his excellent customer service!Posted on Dr Randiva SesathVerified Lakarcade I visited Lakarcade during my most recent holiday in Sri Lanka in Feb 2026. The options in Lakracade are vast with broad range of souvenirs, gift items and house interior decorations. The staff is pleasant, welcoming, polite, friendly, attentive and helpful sometimes even going out of the way and my experience in customer care in Lakarcade is much better than usual European experience, where I live. Shanaka and Tharanga were outstanding in customer care and true Sri Lankan hospitality who arranged two Sesathas from rural Sri Lanka handcrafted by local villagers just within 3 days, before by departure to London. The shop opening hours until local 10 pm also helps. Things to improve: The Lakarcade website search bar does not search items accurately. For instance comes as 'no items found' when the item is available in-store.Posted on Owen RVerified Great shopping Experience Great shopping experience, good choice and pricing plus Air Cond on hot rainy day. Thanks to Sonali for assisting us.Posted on Diane AVerified Enchanting Treasures! Excellent company! Staff were friendly and accommodating whenever you needed help or had questions regarding their merchandise.

I want to thank all the employees of Stunning Gifts for their excellent job!Posted on Jane EVerified Great,helpful shopping experience. Enjoyed shopping at Lakarcade. Thilak was fun,helpful and full of banter.He made sure that I got all the items that I needed. Thank you Thilak.Posted on Yogesh TVerified Srilanka friends Trip Very cooperative staff and genuine items. Thanks may visit again for exploring other displayed stuff. Fantastic experience. Good staff
EXCELLENT Based on 146 reviews Posted on Antony McDonaldTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great store but very expensivePosted on Ben ChowlahTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. One stop shop for all things Sri Lanka that you want to buy as gifts for friends and families. It's conveniently located in Colombo city, there's even a supermarket beside it and a cozy cafe if you choose not to do any shopping.Posted on Part Time TravellerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lakarcade might be an okay place for tourists who are looking for a more “polished” and curated shopping experience rather than discovering the real Sri Lanka. However, everything felt significantly overpriced compared to local markets and shops. It seems clearly targeted at tourists willing to pay a premium. What made the experience uncomfortable was the staff constantly following us around the store, as if we were about to steal something. They also kept making comments while we were browsing, which made it difficult to shop in peace. Overall, if you’re looking for authentic local prices and a relaxed atmosphere, this may not be the right place for you.Posted on Chandana Godakanda ArachchiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wide range of products available for selection. Very nice shopping experience.very good customer care by the staff. I will be back soon.Posted on LucyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The shop offers a wide variety of souvenirs, however, the prices are significantly higher than expected. I also felt quite uncomfortable during my visit. From the moment I entered, I was closely followed by four members of staff who appeared to watch my every move, which made the shopping experience unenjoyable.Posted on benaraTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Unprofessional staffPosted on Niyaz NazarTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. One stop shop for all your Srilankan souvenir needs!! Excellent service , ambience and moreover affordablePosted on Teacher SuhaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thank you to D.R.Amila he really was a good assistant to help me find the gifts.. you should ask for him 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
