About I believe that our environment impacts our mood and our overall sense of well-being. The items we bring into our home should not only be a reflection of ourselves but carry with them a positive energy. Handmade goods not only have the incredible ability to bring character and beauty to our space but also to impact the lives of the artisans that make them. My designs are both inspired by and brought to life through the handmade process. I have always been drawn to traditional arts and crafts from around the world. I see my prints as a mix of these global influences and the laidback design aesthetic of my native California. Spread love, joy, and of course good design with Ceto Home’s handcrafted home decor. - Samantha Artisan Made Our pillows are hand printed using intricately carved wooden blocks in a traditional stamping method. Made by experienced artisans in a studio committed to sustainability and inclusivity. The artisans and tailors that make our pillows are paid a... More

The Story In a tiny apartment on top of a hill in san francisco... Jaclyn has been making candles since 2016. What began as a fun craft night with friends quickly became a therapeutic creative outlet whenever inspiration struck. In 2020, she created her first set of candles called The Shelter Collection, inspired by comforts found while sheltering in place (now renamed The Homebody Collection). She sold them as a way to make other’s spaces a little extra cozy with the added time spent at home, as well as to commit a portion of the sales to various causes, helping important efforts in some small way.  Each fragrance is the result of a thoughtful experiment, aiming to capture a memory or evoke a feeling of comfort. These candles are hand-poured in small batches, and the fragrance names are handwritten on every label. Each candle is truly a unique and mindfully handcrafted gift. With the launch of Ember + Fog, we hope you find a fragrance that connects with you, taps into some... More

Second chances for people and planet. At Formr, our mission goes deeper than creating beautiful items for your space. We are dedicated to two important causes - recidivism and construction waste.  Each year more than 600,000 people are released from incarceration. Within 3 years, 50% are re-incarcerated across the US. Many businesses choose not to hire incarcerated persons and oftentimes, they have few, if any, opportunities for work. We don’t think that’s right. That’s why we provide work opportunities for formerly incarcerated people and help provide them with the resources they need to make a real difference in their lives.  Another area where we believe we can make an impact is helping to repurpose construction waste. Each year more than 500 million tons of construction waste is generated, most of it ending up in overflowing landfills. We think that if we can make even a small dent in that amount, that we’re doing good work. That’s why our items are built from repurposed... More

fou / crazy bisou / kiss foubisou is a made-to-order crochet brand marked by unique and one-of-a-kind pieces. Every item in my shop is handmade in San Francisco, with love by me, Lily Foucault. Derived from my last name & the french word for ‘crazy’, foubisou is inspired by all things beautiful, silly, & imperfect. Just like the song Zou Bisou Bisou, foubisou evokes a feeling of playfulness, nonchalance, and femininity. As a self-taught crocheter and lifelong creative, I fell in love with creating crochet as clothing - and had a mission to reinvent the way we think about crochet (I'm looking at you, granny squares). After years of trial and error, learning, and honing in on my aesthetic, foubisou was born - in all of its imperfect, DIY glory. In an increasingly digitized and mechanized world, I am proud to use my two hands to slowly craft garments that can be worn for years to come and passed down for generations. More
