Although based in the USA, UncommonGoods do ship a high number of products to the UK so us Brits don't have to miss out on such amazing and unique products! I love a company that supports charities and what I love about UncommonGoods is the fact that they donate a portion of each order to your choice of non-profit organizations: American Forests, Women for Women International, City Harvest, and the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN).
UncommonGoods is a privately-owned retailer that endeavors to feature unique designs and handcrafted gifts created in harmony with the environment and without harm to animals or people, founded in 1999 and headquartered in Brooklyn, New York, they run all their operations out of the historic Brooklyn Army Terminal, including their warehouse where the lowest-paid seasonal worker starts at 50% above the minimum wage.
They make it their mission to support and provide a platform for artists and designers; in fact, half of what they sell is made by hand. Most of the products they carry are created in the USA, and about one-third of their entire collection incorporates recycled and/or upcycled materials. At the core of their company is a great respect for the integrity of the creative individual and the belief that it is their responsibility to use their business to impact the world in a positive way.
With all that in mind, I thought I would show you a few of my favourite pieces from their website, although I'm sure if I was a millionaire I'd buy at least one of everything! The items are just beautiful!
