About OriginEU.quest post thumbnail image

Welcome to OriginEU.quest, a website created for anyone on a quest to discover products made in the European Union. Whether you’re shopping with political purpose, ethical intent, or simply a love for quality and local craftsmanship — Sir OriginEU is here to guide you.

This isn’t just a shopping guide. It’s a fun and educational adventure built to help you find European alternatives to the products you love, and maybe discover new favorites along the way.

Our Story

The idea for OriginEU was born during the Covid pandemic — a moment when the global supply chain crisis made it painfully clear just how interconnected (and fragile) the world had become.

At the time, we set out to find everyday products that weren’t “Made in China,” not out of animosity, but out of a desire for balance, transparency, and regional resilience. As the war in Ukraine unfolded and global politics continued to shift in the United States and abroad, it felt even more urgent to support ethical, local businesses within the EU.

So, Sir OriginEU and his faithful digital quest began.

We created origineu.quest to help others like us — people who want to make thoughtful, values-driven choices — find brands and products from companies based in the EU, owned and operated by Europeans.

What We Stand For

Our values are simple, but firm:

  • European-made – We spotlight products that are made within the EU.
  • European-owned – We give preference to companies that are truly rooted in the EU, not just assembled or labeled there.
  • Transparency & Empowerment – We aim to give you the tools to make informed choices, not tell you what to buy.

Who’s Behind This?

The site is created and managed by a French expat living in the UK, still a little nostalgic (and let’s be honest, a bit heartbroken) since Brexit. That feeling of longing for connection, identity, and shared values across the continent is part of what fuels OriginEU.

No big team, no corporate backers — just one person, a mission, and a growing map of European-made goodness.

No Awards. No Big Headlines. Yet.

We’re just getting started. No flashy milestones, but we’re here for the long haul.

Who Is This For?

If you’re:

  • Trying to reduce reliance on global mega-supply chains
  • Looking for local, ethical, or politically-conscious options
  • Curious about EU-based brands and products

…then you’re in the right place. Welcome to the quest.
