Where to shop when you care about what you buy 😌🌱💕
More than ever, conscious consumers are shaping the direction of retail. The brands they support and the causes they get behind translate directly to good business. The smartest, most relevant retailers realize this. As the holidays approach, they are stocking their (literal and digital) shelves with the kind of sustainable and responsibly-made goods that consumers demand. This might mean hand-woven grass baskets from Ghana, artful ceramics from Oaxaca or clean-burning candles from Canada. But how do they put it all together? It’s the keen design eye of each shop on this list that ensures their customers are not only selecting ethically made products, but ones that will fit seamlessly into their modern, carefully curated homes.
Our criteria: At Powered by People, we put a premium on a number of principles when evaluating makers. Are they using materials that are environmentally sensitive? Do you treat their workers well and pay them a living wage? Are they women-led? Do they embrace the conservation of heritage-craft techniques? Oh, and do they make really beautiful products? These are the standards we abide by at PBP, and these are the same ones we expect from our favorite retailers in North America.

Three Business Owners Burned Out. Then They Found the Drive to Try Something New.
“When COVID hit, it made us pause and take another look, because our services were the first to go [for clients],” says Emily Bishop.
To busy herself, she found joy and serenity in design projects around their house. “I was trying to create a more peaceful bedroom retreat so we had a calm space to sleep and wake up during those high-stress days of COVID,” she says. In particular, she fell in love with a concept called Japandi, which is a hybrid of Japanese minimalism and cozy Scandinavian design. It inspired her to declutter their home and fill it home with neutral colors, natural materials, and lots of plants.
