Authentic local production
Everything sold on lOcalz is made by the person selling it, in the region it comes from.
Our philosophy
The lOcalz Producer Charter
lOcalz connects customers with authentic local producers. Every producer on the marketplace agrees to the values below before their first product goes live.
High product quality
Care in the making matters more than volume. Producers stand behind every batch.
Local value creation
The money stays in the valley: with the maker, their suppliers and their neighbours.
Transparent origin
Customers can see where a product was made, by whom, and from what.
Sustainable production
Resources, energy and packaging are used responsibly, season after season.
Fair and respectful business
Clear prices, honest descriptions and fair treatment of customers and partners.
Protecting regional culture
Traditional craftsmanship is kept alive, not imitated or industrialised.
