We ask thorough questions about each product we consider such as: Are the products produced ethically / are the artisans paid fairly? Are the materials used non toxic and safe for our homes? Is the product created in a sustainable manner without needlessly harming the environment?
We may come into difficulties with communicating directly with the artisans which can include language barriers or remote villages with limited contact. Despite our persistency, sometimes we can only find out so much.
A brand’s mission is often so worthy and compelling that we feel it is too good to pass up-- regardless of some shortcomings in terms of certain materials used. Any controversy is reflected in our rankings and is communicated clearly on each product page.
When we are unable to find out the answers to all of our questions or when we find out that a less-than-perfect material was used, we share that information (or lack of information) with you so that you can make your own informed decision.
