ABOUT DERA DESIGN

We began with a few simple goals that continue to guide our choices.

Make Sustainable Products that Last

Making products without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs is our guiding principle. For us, it all starts with the materials: sustainably farmed organic cotton; rag paper made from cotton castoffs, inks that meet or exceed environmental standards. Then, we make sure our products are extra durable. That way, fewer end up as waste and everyone benefits. 

Use Eco-Friendly Packaging and Shipping Methods

How we package and how far we ship has long been our three o’clock-in-the-morning worry. Our goal is to use sustainable packaging materials and shipping methods that protect the environment and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Our packing materials and shipping methods reflect our current research on the best available. If you have any suggestions, be sure to let us know. (link to page about shipping and packing)

Showcase Biodiversity

We’re on a mission to stop biodiversity loss. While we aim to create home environments that are cozy and fun, we also like to sneak in a little learning. Our children are next in line to worry about clean water and air, and the ability of the planet to sustain biodiverse life. We’d like them to get a head start.

Take Time to do Things Right

Taking things slowly gives us time. Time to make sure we respect people and the environment. Time to audit our processes. Time to make things well. And time to personalize just about everything we sell. If there’s anything we can do to help our products match your personal style, just ask. In fact, ask us anything at all. We’ve got the time.
