Founded in 2001 based on the idea that being and remaining local should be more important than going global, as in the increasingly globalized world we're living in, there's a detectable, ever-present risk of forgetting where we come from and what is so special and unique about our origins. Local focuses its collections on the use of materials, techniques and methods with a strong association with their place of origin. Natural hand-knitted wool, organic cottons, feather light gauze carefully and patiently embroidered by hands are the essence of Local.
