Not sure that it's a fair test, tbh.

I try to buy 'locally made' products because I respect the story of their company, and their efforts to build up some type of community.

If I had a choice between 'made here' or 'made there' at the checkout stage, then I'd probably think it's a bit of a scam.

I think 'locally made' is a business choice, not a product choice.

I always like to give this Welsh jeans firm as an example: https://hiutdenim.co.uk/ (sorry if it's advertising, I've no connection to them).
