Sustainable

Locally Made
Goods manufactured here in Aotearoa. Supporting local makers, small businesses and their communities.
Handcrafted
Goods that are one of a kind and have been created by skilled artisans often using techniques passed down through generations, rather than by automated, machine-based processes. Small irregularities are celebrated and are what make handcrafted goods unique.
Transparent

Ethically Made

Organic
Goods that are made from organically grown materials and are free from harmful chemicals and pesticides.
Natural
Goods that have been crafted with materials that are derived from naturally occurring materials, plants or animals, with minimal processing.
Recycled

Biodegradable
Goods that can be composted at the end of their useful life, leaving no trace of their existence.
Vegan
