Step into the colorful world of Sri Lankan batik with Shermila Batiks, a family-run workshop founded in 1991. From humble beginnings, this workshop has grown into a vibrant hub of creativity, culture, and craftsmanship—now carried forward by the second generation to preserve this timeless art.

Located in Koggala, just a short drive from Galle, the factory and gallery invite you to explore the artistry behind batik. Browse authentic, handcrafted clothing, accessories, and home décor, each piece reflecting Sri Lanka’s rich traditions, intricate patterns, and natural dyes.
