MADE LOCAL - you can own it


The MADE LOCAL campaign is a brilliant initiative by DCCI to sustain Ireland’s design and craft sector during this recovery phase.
It celebrates the creativity of Irish designers and craftspeople.
Look out for the MADE LOCAL symbol in participating shops and workshops.
