Local Sustainable Living

Local Sustainable Living In Local Sustainable Store, you can find anything from Food to Art to Lifestyle products, Clothes to Accessories, Gifts to Home Decor & much more!

Our first store is opening at Mattanchery, Kochi. Everything in this store is Local, Affordable & for All. LOCAL, but why?! Why the name LOCAL we may think? Is it because we usually deem "local" products as unworthy? We LOCAL, explore the hidden gems of your neighborhood, their uniqueness, craftsmanship, tradition and mind-blowing indigenous technology and then promote, market & finally, sell it.

Some things are slowly taking shape at Local.
People, ideas, gatherings, experiments, products, workshops… and we’re looking for a few more hands to grow along with it.

If you feel connected to this kind of initiative and would like to be part of what’s happening here, reach out.

Note: At the moment, we don’t have a setup to provide accommodation from our side. The involvement is currently more suitable for people based in or around Kochi, or those who can manage their stay independently.

A small brief about Local (not sure it touches everything, still..):
Local Sustainable Living is an evolving platform based in Kochi (as of now) that explores better ways of living through everyday practice, ideas, products, spaces, and experiences. It can be a social enterprise.

What started as a simple intention has slowly grown into a space where people come together to create, experiment, collaborate, and build meaningful things. It brings together local products, sustainable practices, workshops, gatherings, conversations, and creative explorations in a natural and practical way.

Currently operating from a 200-year-old tharavadu (traditional house) in Maradu, Local continues to explore how physical spaces can shape the way we live, work, interact, and coexist. The space functions as a store, gathering point, workplace, and evolving ecosystem, where every activity is approached with thought, purpose, and care.

At its core, Local Sustainable Living is about trying things out honestly, exploring how self sustainability, creativity, sharing fair value for all, business, culture, and everyday life can coexist in a more balanced and meaningful way.

Further, shall talk directly!

A few glimpses from yesterday’s beautiful wrap to the local sustainable Onam. Deepa Kartha and her disciples brought Chollum Chuvadum and Dashavatharam to life through graceful movement, music, and storytelling. A night of shared stories, soulful performances, and warm community spirit!

A wonderful way to close this year’s Onam celebrations at Local. 🌸

Join us as we look beyond the dishes on the leaf and discover the stories, ingredients, traditions and cultural memories that make the Sadhya what it is.
