Based in Oakland, California, this shop offers niche, artisan-made houseware that adds an artistic touch to any space. Dreamy glass coasters are this shop's specialty, along with concrete hand sculptures that act as personalized jewelry holders.
Minnna Home Textiles
From Hudson, New York, Minna works with indigenous textile makers and weavers from Central and South America and sells ethically-sourced towels, table cloths, pillows, and more. Their prints are minimal, so you can mix and match multiple designs, too.
