Handpicked Products

At Local Terrain, we take pride in offering more than just products. We offer carefully curated items that reflect our values of sustainability, craftsmanship, and ethical production. Each product on our platform is thoughtfully selected to ensure you are supporting businesses that care deeply about the environment, their communities, and the stories behind their work.

When you browse through Local Terrain, you can feel confident knowing that our handpicked products are the result of conscious choices, each rooted in transparency and trust.

Criteria One

Produced Locally

We focus on working with independent businesses that produce their goods locally. By prioritizing local production, we help sustain small-scale economies and support family-run operations worldwide. These businesses are embedded in their communities, preserving unique traditions, techniques, and craftsmanship that reflect their cultural heritage.

Local production means less reliance on mass production. Instead, you’re supporting smaller, local workshops that create items in smaller batches, ensuring high quality and personal care with every product you buy.

Criteria Two

Raw Materials Must Be Ethically Sourced

The foundation of a great product starts with the materials used to create it. That’s why we only work with producers who commit to ethically sourcing their raw materials. From sustainable wood to organic fabrics and recycled metals, the materials that make up each product are carefully chosen to respect the planet and the people who harvest them.

Ethical sourcing means ensuring that no one along the supply chain is exploited, and that the environment is protected during the production process. When you shop at Local Terrain, you’re not just choosing quality products, but also ensuring that your purchase doesn’t harm the world’s natural resources or contribute to unfair labor practices.

Criteria Three

Contributing to SDGs

Our commitment goes beyond great products; we’re also dedicated to making a positive impact on the world. We align our product selections with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which promote global efforts towards reducing inequality, fostering economic growth, and protecting the environment.

By supporting businesses that contribute to goals such as decent work and economic growth (SDG 8), responsible consumption and production (SDG 12), we help ensure that your purchases make a meaningful difference. Every product on Local Terrain contributes in some way to a better, more sustainable future.

Criteria Four

Family-Businesses and Handmade Products

We believe in the power of family-run businesses, where the passion for creating something special is passed down through generations. These small-scale producers take pride in their craft, infusing every item with a sense of tradition and personal care.
Each handmade item reflects a deep commitment to quality and individuality, offering you something truly unique. By choosing handmade goods, you’re supporting skilled makers who dedicate their time and energy to creating something with heart, far from the mass-produced items that dominate the market.

Criteria Five

Unique Design

At Local Terrain, we celebrate individuality and creativity. Our handpicked products showcase unique designs that you won’t find anywhere else. Each piece tells its own story—whether it’s a home decor item, a fashion accessory, or a piece of art. Our products are often inspired by local cultures, contemporary design trends, or even timeless craftsmanship passed down through generations.

These designs reflect the personalities and visions of the creators, offering something fresh, meaningful, and beautiful. Whether you’re looking for something that stands out or want to find a piece with a story behind it, you’ll always find something special at Local Terrain.
