We'd like to call ourselves a dream-made-true store: 'Of Women, By Women, For Everyone'. It’s a truly desi handicraft store operated and managed by female leadership and executives. We intend to promote gender equality and empower women by letting them showcase their skills and talents.
Indian handicrafts offer an amazing cross-section of products that can be personalised to suit every customer's unique requirements. Whether it's a personalised photo frame, a custom-made wooden statue, devotional set-piece, interactive toy, or handcrafted garment, The Lokal Shop promises you distinctive and exotic items that are sure to impress.
Our Mission
TheLokal.in endeavours to offer best-in-class products that are otherwise rare to find in online marketplaces. Our USP is to bring you handcrafted wooden artefacts, furniture and brassware, among other collectibles, of the highest quality at affordable prices.
In the process, we would like to support and empower supremely skilled local artisans from different parts of India in plying their wares conveniently.
Our Vision
We strive to make exquisite handcrafted home and office decor items accessible as well as affordable to all kinds of customers.
TheLokal.in's core intention is to narrow the gap between premium handcrafted products, the artisans that manufacture them and the aspiring end users from various walks of life. For us, it is much more than just a sales transaction.
Our Values
We stand for the highest quality standards of rare collectibles at not-so-premium prices. It’s our unflinching promise to never compromise on this aspect, irrespective of the sales figures. We are also committed towards women empowerment and gender equality.
TheLokal.in will put the customer’s needs first and enable them to consume premium products from some of India’s best artisans.
