our beginnings


our beginnings


 

Our story began in 2020 during an island-wide lockdown in Sri Lanka, where rooftop picnics became a treasured escape. In those moments of stillness, our founder,  Liyara Cooray, envisioned a brand that could bring the same sense of calm and joy into everyday life. The name 'ging-home' is inspired by the gingham fabric, reminiscent of the classic picnic blanket—a symbol of carefree, sun-soaked afternoons.

In Sri Lanka, we are fortunate to have access to many natural, plant-based alternatives. At ging-home, we incorporate these resources into our range of high-quality, slow-made home essentials. By focusing on reducing plastics, microplastics, and harmful chemicals, we aim to create products that are not only better for us and our homes but also for the planet. Every item is crafted with care, reflecting our commitment to preserving nature while maintaining quality and simplicity.

our mission


At ging-home, we're on a mission to offer you minimal, daily-use products that are not only sustainable but also affordable and functional. We believe that small, conscious choices can have a significant positive impact on the environment. After all, it's our plastic bags and disposable bottles that end up polluting our oceans and forests.

As Howard Zinn wisely said, "We don't have to engage in grand, heroic actions to participate in change. Small acts, when multiplied by millions of people, can transform the world.” That's what we're all about – helping you make those small but impactful changes in your lifestyle. Join us on this journey to a more environmentally conscious and joyful way of living.


conscious packaging


At ging-home, sustainability isn't just a product feature; it's woven into every aspect of our brand, including our packaging. Our commitment to the environment is reflected in our choice of materials and practices. 

  • Our thank you cards and tags are crafted from recycled linen and silk board, reducing the demand for new resources. 
  • Our detergent is packaged in reusable glass jars or resealable, sustainable kraft paper packs for our refills. Plus, we've opted for plastic lamination free stickers. We also offer bulk detergent which is packaged in compostable bags and reused cardboard boxes.
  • And let's not forget our main packaging bags that are constructed from biodegradable kraft paper (lamination free), ensuring that every element of your ging-home experience is aligned with our mission of promoting eco-conscious living.
