About House of Locals Products

The raw materials used to make House of Locals products are all obtained naturally. These materials are sourced with care, from pine needles to water hyacinth plants to bamboo. The team follows a circular economy strategy to ensure that nothing is removed from nature unnecessarily and that the ecosystem is protected. 

Their items range from cane mirrors and baskets to lighting and woven yoga mats. They develop ecological and basic lifestyle goods out of materials such as pine needles, water reed, cane, and bamboo. 

The Tohfa Bamboo Bowls, produced by Tripura artisans, may be used as anything from a fruit bowl to a table centrepiece, and the Reed Vessels from the Shibui Pine Collection are two of our favourites. 

The collection was inspired by curves in nature and language, plays with perception, and was created by Himachal Pradesh artisans using an old hand-weaved stitching technique. 

In a world where manufactured goods are becoming more and more common, House of Locals is paving the path for artisans to survive. They currently collaborate with craftspeople in Himachal Pradesh, Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, and Tripura, and they intend to expand that list.
