Made Trade
Bluedot’s Publisher Victoria Riskin loves the thoughtful, attractive assortment of goods in Made Trade’s ethical online marketplace, where everything's 10% off for our readers with code BLUEDOT10. The woman-owned, family-run business sells wares for home and closet from brands that use sustainable materials and employ good labor practices. Clear labeling makes it easy to shop by value, such as BIPOC-owned, Made in USA, Fair Trade, and more.
A few items catching Marketplace Editor Elizabeth’s eye: colorful, Portland-made, wedgie-proof underwear; charming beach bags; baseball caps made from cork (!); stunning woven baskets; contemporary outdoor furniture you’d never guess was made from old milk jugs; and these seriously chic handbags made from palm fiber that look like they could be for sale at Bergdorf's — with an extra zero added to the price. While many of Made Trade’s items come from overseas, the company is certified Carbon Neutral and offsets all its shipping. They also carry a couple of Bluedot favorites, like Nisolo shoes and Coyuchi linens.
