About Us

We are a small team with a common dream. We dream of daily life that is healthy, kind, and in harmony with the environment. We dream of a world where we don't have to wonder if the products we purchase harm people, the environment or have hidden toxins. 

With problems so big, our only choice is to start small...

OUR ROOTS

Having run a fine art photography gallery for 8+ years, we work with landscape photographers who are passionate about experiencing and sharing nature's captivating beauty - from the rugged coastlines to the peaceful deserts. With that appreciation for the natural world around us, respect for the people who inhabit it and a desire to make a difference, came the foundation for what would become Shelf Love Collective.

01

OUR WHY

Being in the home decor sector opened our eyes to some big problems..

Many home decor shops and websites are filled with low quality, low cost items - from couches to candles - manufactured with unsustainable materials in ways that devastate ecosystems and the people who inhabit them. Mass quantities of "fast furniture" and decor ends up getting trashed in landfills at staggering rates (12+ million tons per year in the U.S. according to the EPA). 

We were curious... are there any home decor brands out there that do NOT needlessly harm the environment and who treat the artisans with fairness and respect?

02

A BETTER WAY

Our curiosity turned into a quest to find ethical, handmade home goods made with high quality, sustainable and non-toxic materials that will outlast changing trends.

To our delight, though it can take some digging, there are more and more honest home decor brands that are doing things right. There are skilled artisans in communities all over the world who hope to sell their beautiful handmade goods to support their families. Once we started compiling these brands together, we knew we were onto something.

We were creating a shop, one brand at a time, that aligns with our values.

03

HOME GOODS YOU CAN LOVE

We had a suspicion there were others out there who cared as much as we did, and thus, Shelf Love Collective was born. We hope to continue to make connections with like-minded brands, designers, and conscious consumers.

When you shop with Shelf Love Co., you can be confident that each and every product is good for people, good for the planet + safe for your home (learn about our Shelf Love Guarantee).

Together, we can make a difference with our dollars - one shelf at a time.

In case you were wondering...

Why Shelves?

A shelf can serve as the first corner in our home where we take a stand against our throw-away culture, against dangerous toxins found in home decor, and against products that harm people and the environment. 

Little by little, consumer demand for safe, ethical + sustainable home decor is shifting the industry, much like the fashion industry. The ripple effect will positively impact our own health, our environment's health and the demand for fair working conditions across the planet. 

So perhaps the question is - why not start with our s[h]elf?
