Goods that Matter creates everyday design goods, with extraordinary impact. We provide a trusted home for eco-conscious consumers to purchase the highest quality, eco-friendly, handmade-in-America goods for everyday use. Each Matter product is handmade in the U.S., of eco-friendly materials, & gives back to unique social and environmental causes. 10% of all proceeds flow to causes that impact the health, happiness, and sustainability of our communities both locally and for our neighbors around the world. We are proud to be the first Benefit Corporation in the state of Louisiana and to have donated $30,866 to date to our partner causes!
