I recently received my 2nd order from Local Leo and once again my expectations were exceeded. The customer service was exceptional. Tom is so professional and friendly and keeps you updated with the order status from confirmation through to dispatch and the gratitude he expresses for supporting local South African Artisans is sincere and admirable. This time I ordered more bags (they are soooo beautiful), some jewellery, T-shirts, shot glasses and greeting cards. Everything was packed well and protected with extra packaging. The T-shirts are very good quality and a fun design, the shot glasses are for my oldest son and have the feature the big 5 on them - they are stunning. The greeting cards capture the African wildlife thru art and the bags I have an obsession with!!! So well made, so colourful and so uniquely African. I highly recommend shopping at Local Leo whether you've been to Africa, are going to South Africa or just want to go. There's something in this store for everyone and supporting the local Artisans makes it such a special purchase. Thank you sooooo much again for providing such extraordinary customer service.

Local Variety and Product Exposure

The variety of brands and products available is really what stood out for me about Local Leo. From African crafts, to baby clothes to skincare - this platform has you covered. Visiting South Africa is such a unique experience; with Local Leo you can support local businesses - and take a bit of that experience home with you!

Amazing service and shipped to London…

Amazing service and shipped to London so efficiently. We'd been travelling in Africa for two months and had absolutely zero space in our bags. Ordered some art and African crafts and they arrived surprisingly fast. Great way to skip all the hassle of going to a market when you have limited time or of paying extra for heavy bags at the airport. Highly recommend!

Saved Us When We Had No Luggage Space

My wife and I went to Cape Town on honeymoon and really wanted to bring a touch of Africa back to our home in the UK - but we didn’t have the luggage space.Local Leo completely saved the day. The selection is incredible and we loved the authentic stories behind the pieces. We ordered a beautiful artwork and it arrived safely at our doorstep.Couldn’t recommend them enough.

10/10 Experience

This platform is honestly amazing. I was blown away by the sheer variety of authentic African goods available, it feels like a curated collection of real stories, craft, and culture. Being able to read about the artisanal artists behind each product is such a thoughtful touch. It makes you feel genuinely connected to the products. I ordered a few items and the whole experience was seamless from start to finish. Everything arrived promptly, beautifully packaged, and exactly as described. You can tell there’s real care taken at every step, from sourcing to delivery. It’s rare to find a platform that combines quality products, meaningful storytelling, and great service this well. Couldn’t recommend it more - 10/10.

Fantastic experience with Local Leo

We visited Cape Town from the Netherlands and wanted to bring a piece of our holiday back home. We had an amazing experience with Local Leo. The website offered a great selection of local products, and our parcel was delivered seamlessly to Amsterdam. Highly recommended!
