About Us

We created Considered Store to create a space for people to fall back in love with the art of handmade and the ancient heritage of craft.

Considered Store is a collective space to explore the beauty behind the things in our home and the gifts that we give. 

We are wanderers, travellers, slow living lovers, sunset chasers and appreciators of the paths less travelled.

We curate a selection of considered, conscious gifts and home from around the world direct to your door.

Made fair, for people, planet & communities.

Our goal is to educate and inspire better purchasing decisions through responsible, slow and no-buying ideas.

This space aims to extend this ethos beyond our family, friends and ourselves, to the products we buy and the people who make them.

Our Journey

We began our journey in the jungles of India, exploring and learning about life and livelihoods there. We fell in love with the craftsmanship, heritage and skills of those creating things by hand.

We created Considered Store out of a simple love for this practice, crafting things with care to our natural environment and the people behind them, made slowly, and by hand and preserving traditional crafts.

Our Core Values

In a world where it is a radical act to stand still and listen. We exist to create a movement of people who believe in the beauty of slowing down and taking consideration for the things we buy.

  1. Opting for unique, one of a kind, handmade items over mass produced.
  2. Choosing fairly-made and cooperative led initiatives over opaque giant supply chains and factories.
  3. Seeking out natural and lower impact processes, such as organic cotton, rattan bamboo, and handwoven practices over machine made copies and oil derived plastic products.

Every item at Considered Store carries a story, reflecting the skill and dedication of the people who create them and transporting you to a world and to the maker.

OUR FOUNDER

Hey, my name is Kate.

I am the founder of Considered Store.

I am a self taught ceramicist, botanical dyer and crafter who fell in love with making things by hand and the tranquility and mindfulness that it brings.

I created Considered Store to be a destination to fall back in love with handcrafted things, to slow down and appreciate the simpler things in life.

When we choose to buy from talented makers and artists, we are supporting something important, the art of learning a skill, perfecting it, practicing it and giving your time for that art.

In a world that moves fast and is filled ith so much mass produced items, it is a rebellious act is to stand still and choose the alternative. There is power in choosing handmade and choosing small business.

Everything we buy has a story, let's make it unique, and let's support small makers.
