POWDER

We started Powder because we were struggling to find effective beauty products which made us feel good about ourselves, and we were underwhelmed by what’s available in the local market. So, we searched high and low to bring together a selection of products which remedy our flaws and enhance rather than conceal our natural beauty.

BOKSHA

Welcome to BOKSHA, the region’s online marketplace dedicated to discovering authentic designs created by UAE homegrown talent.

The name BOKSHA (بقشة) comes from an Arab Gulf dialect referring to the piece of fabric tied from the top and used as a head carrier by street sellers to hold their garments. Once at the marketplace (souk), the sellers would place their Boksha on the ground and showcase their items for sale.

AZRA

Born out of necessity, and desire to explore the world of leather goods on her own terms, Azra Khamissa started AZRA in 2015. An evolving offering has maintained its core values: minimalism, reducing waste, and keeping things very, very local. The foundations lay in the use of ethically sourced camel leather, designing the bags herself, and making in collaboration with local artisans.

Al Ain Water

Al Ain Water has the right balance of minerals to make sure you stay healthy and hydrated.
Recognized as a truly Emirati company, we are one of the region’s fastest growing brands. Our success has been guided by the strong heritage and tradition in Abu Dhabi.

The Giving Movement

Hi, we’re The Giving Movement.
We’re a sustainable brand that’s designed and manufactured in the UAE, blending active and streetwear. We also donate $4 to our partner charities for every item sold. Yep, that’s right, not the total amount, but for Every. Single. Item. in your basket.

Our philosophy is simple:
‘’Small acts multiplied by many people can transform the world’’

You probably guessed it in the name, but we put giving at the heart of everything we do. We like to call it conscious consumerism. We’re striving for a product that doesn’t harm our planet further AND helps to change the lives of those who need it most.

Buka

So this is where we tell you what we really stand for. In short, we believe in the individual and so we design for the individual. We don’t create our fashion so that you can be someone else, instead we are focused on helping you bring out who you really are, that subtle edginess that is in you, waiting to come out. We help you make your own mark in the world as you. That’s what we stand for.

Elbirg

My mission is to provide an educational sensory experience, which enhances cognitive growth and helps in motor skill development and to provide sensory boxes that are easily available to everyone in the UAE and to encourage our community to learn more about the benefits of sensory play.

MAUVE Mini

Our basic wardrobe essentials for babies are minimalistic and trendy in design to keep your baby comfortable, while clothes are practical and easy to put on and take off. Our baby range is available in a selection of beautiful soft pastel colours in the softest, stretchy bamboo rayon and come in sizes ranging from newborn to 12 months. As MAUVEmini grows, so will the range of our products in terms of sizes, styles and collections.

Casa Havana

Located in the heart of Umm Suqeim 1, Casa Havana Beauty Salon is a Cuban inspired space that will take you back in time.

Casa Havana strives to create a warm friendly environment, a home away from home, where you, our guest, will feel welcome.

Why Go-Lokal?

We should support our local market (local products & local brands) by empowering people within the UAE to do business with local companies and local entrepreneurs that are based and operate from within the UAE.

By connecting the local community we aspire to support the local economy, making its unique brands better known, and create awareness for authentic tour experiences. Go-Lokal gives you access to all hidden gems the UAE has to offer.

Lokal of the month

Mleiha

Mleiha, a UNESCO-nominated World Heritage Site in the Central Region of the Sharjah map, is home to a number of significant sites, including Bronze Age tombs and pre-Islamic forts. Fascinating artifacts and fossils were discovered here, including pottery, iron tools and camel skeletons. The Mleiha Archaeological Centre, which opened in 2016, houses these discoveries and even more artifacts that uncover ancient UAE history.

The centre also offers a range of tours and activities. You can explore the archaeological sites or venture into the sand dunes with a desert safari. Alternatively, you can also try other desert adventures like riding a quad bike or dune buggy over the sand. If you prefer to go on foot, consider trekking to Camel Rock for an expansive view of the desert. The surrounding area is a beautiful location for a desert camp on soft dunes and under glittering night stars.
