Putting Belgian craftsmanship in the spotlight.
Born in the middle of a crisis.
It all started during the Covid-19 crisis: a team of student entrepreneurs from UCLouvain launched “Aide aux restaurateurs #Covid19”, an initiative that helped more than 500 Belgian restaurants and wholesalers get through the crisis. That experience gave rise to a conviction: Belgian small businesses deserve support, and buying local deserves a bigger place.
La Vitrine Locale is born.
Pierre Peckel, a 25-year-old student passionate about entrepreneurship, launched “La Vitrine Locale”, an e-commerce site for Belgian producers and artisans who don't always have the means to go digital.
From Apéro Packs to Gourmet Boxes.
The success of the first 100% Belgian apéro packs — a hit for corporate team-buildings during the health crisis — paved the way for the Gourmet Boxes you know today, born from one company's request for an original gift for its employees.
What never changes.
Local roots
Every producer we work with is Belgian. We visit them, know them, believe in them.
Rigorous selection
Before entering a box, every product goes through our tasting committee. No exceptions.
Responsible packaging
Recycled cardboard, plastic-free tissue paper, natural inks. Beautiful and responsible.
A complementary team, one ambition.
