Behind every beautifully crafted accessory lies a story—of the hands that
make it, the women who carry it with confidence, and the earth that provides for it. Fashion isn’t just about style; it is about people, passion, and purpose.
This International Women’s Day, we celebrate the incredible women who bring ALEAF to life—from the artisans who craft each piece with care to the trendsetters who wear them with pride. As a fully women-led business, we believe in fashion that empowers—both the women who create it and those who carry it into the world.
The Women Who Make It: Meet Our Artisans
At ALEAF, every stitch and design tell a story, and behind all of these are talented artisans. Panchana a mother, a wife, and an expert in batik craftsmanship, she embodies resilience and dedication. By working with us, she not only preserves Sri Lanka’s rich artistic traditions but also supports her family, providing for her husband and children. Her work allows her to pursue her passion while creating beautiful, handcrafted accessories that travel the world.
