What we care about
We carefully curate everything we put on our shelves.
For new brands, we look for:
- ✔ minimal or no plastic
- ✔ absolutely no microplastics
- ✔ clear and safe ingredients
- ✔ high INCI score for beauty products in the INCI beauty app
- ✔ organic certification for food whenever possible
- ✔ values aligned with low-waste living
Packaging
We select brands with thoughtful, low-waste packaging:
- ✔ minimal or better no plastic
- ✔ no single-use plastic
- ✔ if plastic is used, it must be durable and reusable
- ✔ bio-based or compostable options are welcome
- ✔ full transparency about materials
Packaging matters! Our customers expect this level of care from us and we expect it from our suppliers too.
How we work
We offer simple, transparent consignment agreements for new brands that want to test their products in our shop without upfront risk. A consignment partnership includes:
-
- ✔ clear trial period (usually 6 months)
- ✔ your products remain your property until sold
- ✔ monthly or quarterly sales reports
- ✔ invoicing only after products are sold
- ✔ current stock report after new delivery
- ✔ easy pickup or extension for unsold items
- ✔ friendly and open communication
Consignment allows us to support small, sustainable brands while keeping our shelves fresh and well curated.
Why consignment and not wholesale?
With wholesale:
❌ you never know the true sales potential of your product at this location
❌ items may sell out, but the shop might not restock them right away
❌ reorders often depend on the shop’s budget and priorities, not demand
❌ your product disappears from the shelf even when customers wanted more
❌ customers can’t build a habit of buying your brand
❌ you get very little insight into what could have sold if stock stayed available
With consignment:
✅ your products remain available for the full trial period
✅ stock doesn’t run out due to budget timing
✅ customers see your brand consistently and can come back for it
✅ you get a clearer picture of maximum possible sales
✅ you can see which items people return for
✅ simple reports show exactly what sold, how fast, and what’s still in stock
