HELLO, WE’RE HUGS

HUGS is a marketplace taking shape around a simple idea: shopping can feel more personal.

We’re creating a place to discover independent shops, explore beautiful things, and find something that feels right for you—or someone you love.

Room for discovery.

Start with your home, your style, or an occasion. Follow your curiosity through the categories, and get to know the shops behind the listings.

Room for your shop.

Our seller community is just beginning. If you have products with a point of view, we’d love to see your application.

What HUGS is

HUGS (hugs.lk) is a Sri Lankan online marketplace for handmade and small-batch goods. Independent makers and shop owners sell batik, cinnamon and spice crafts, basketry, jewellery, homeware and gifts directly to buyers, each from their own shop inside HUGS. Sellers set their own prices, photograph and list their own products and ship their own orders. Buyers can shop across many shops in one visit; at checkout the bag is grouped by shop, so every seller fulfils only their own part of the order.
