I want to support local artisans. Where can I buy authentic, handmade pillow/bobbin lace (Beeralu) in or around Galle?

The absolute best place is the village of Magalle, just outside the Galle Fort. It is the traditional heartland of Beeralu lace. You can visit the homes of the weavers, watch them work the bobbins, and buy directly from them at fair prices.

If you don't have time to leave the Fort, there is a women's cooperative shop called "Shoba Display Gallery" inside Galle Fort that guarantees the money goes directly to the village artisans.
