Ending on a Barefoot note

Below are a few images of carved wood sculptures found at the BAREFOOT store.

“Barefoot began over 40 years ago when Barbara Sansoni was invited to design cloth for women learning to weave in a convent workshop North of Colombo, Sri Lanka.

Today the company she founded has a small team of dedicated designers who work with our own dyers, weavers and skilled needle women.”
