Local Keeps is an online travel market. It’s purpose is to allow travelers and adventurers to fully experience the truthfulness of each country they visit through the work and creations of environmentally friendly local artisans and small companies.
Local Keeps curates and recommends the finest expressions of every locally made product, be it health and beauty, souvenirs, food, books, kid keeps or accessories.
As of now, you will be able to shop Costa Rican Keeps and find out more about Costa Rican Makers.
We will notify you as soon as more countries are added to the site.
Keeps are what we call the products you can purchase on the site. We call them Keeps because we feel they hold the essence of the country where it’s made, their Makers and its people. We do not sell in a country any foreign products.
Our Keeps are chosen for their authenticity, quality and their level of involvement in the community. They are environmentally friendly and socially conscious and they all tell a beautiful story of dreams that come true.
Makers are the local artisans and small companies that produce or create Keeps. They are our partners in Local Keeps since it’s through their passionate work that we are able to offer the Costa Rican experience to travelers and adventurers.
Makers are chosen because they represent their country and it’s values. We choose Makers that have sustainable businesses, that create jobs in their communities and that really love what they do!
Who am I helping when I purchase through Local Keeps? When purchasing Keeps you are not only making your travel experience more intense and authentic, but at the same time you are socially responsible by contributing with the development of small local artisans and producers, with the environment and with other social causes Local Keeps participates in.
A Kit is a collection of Keeps that belong to the same theme. We have kits for home decoration, for beach days, for kids, BBQ-ing and a lot of other themes.
Kits are curated and include the best products in each category which are bundled together.
All the shipping, either locally or internationally, is made through UPS
Some Makers are small companies that produce the Keeps as they are ordered. Some others have inventory. Your Keeps will be shipped as soon as production and delivery by Makers is complete. This should be taken into account for estimation of delivery time.
