BAREFOOT

We are saddened to share that our beloved Patchouli passed away last night. She ruled the Bookshop, and called Barefoot home for nine years.

We will miss her greatly. Thank you to everyone who stopped by, gave her a little scratch, offered a few words, or simply acknowledged her with a knowing nod. The shop won’t be the same without her.

Our team wishes you a happy and prosperous Sinhala and Tamil New year 🙏🏽✨

We have been fortunate to work with Niluka Dinesh since 2001. His beautifully hand-painted wooden bowls and plates bring colour and character to everyday objects. Perfect for any space, they make a lovely gift for a loved one, or a treat for yourself!

Join us this Saturday at the Barefoot Shop in Colombo to meet Ajay Kamalakaran, author of Colombo: Port of Call.

Drop in between 11am and 3pm for a chat and have your copy signed.
