Shared Earth Competitors

Founded in 1999 and headquartered in Brooklyn, NY, Uncommon Goods offers remarkable designs by independent makers, and we do it with a positive impact on both people and our planet. We want to change the way business is conducted by making sustainability a part of every decision we make. As a certified B Corporation, we hold ourselves to a high standard of social responsibility. That means printing our catalog on recycled, FSC-certified paper, offering a starting wage that's 100% above the federal minimum, selling products that are fur/feather/leather-free, and donating over $2 million (so far) to our partner non-profits. In 2018, UncommonGoods was proud and honored to be named a Forbes Small Giant, an annual list celebrating 25 standout businesses that favor greatness over growth.
