Our Story
GOODEE is a leading curated marketplace offering essential homewares and lifestyle products for better living. Our values are simple: we believe in good design, good people, and good impact. Driven by an unrelenting desire to co-create a world that’s smarter, kinder, and more beautiful, we built a platform centered around responsible brands and artisans producing timeless everyday objects and consumers looking to make a difference with their purchases. We believe conscious commerce has the power to transform the world and seek to empower both creators and consumers to create change by championing community, transparency, and sustainability.
Our Founders
In 2017, designers and entrepreneurs Byron and Dexter Peart embarked on a new mission. After founding the acclaimed brand WANT Les Essentiels in 2007, the twin brothers set out on a new venture to launch and develop meaningful brands dedicated to offering sustainable solutions for modern living. This time, however, the pair decided to work exclusively with artisans and products that make a positive social or environmental impact. GOODEE leads the way in curating a marketplace that brings together the values of good design, good people, and good purpose. With a creative and passionate team split between Montreal, New York, and Paris, Byron and Dexter act as creative directors for the global online platform — a unique destination built around storytelling and impactful products.
In Good Company
True to our values, we’re setting a good example by designing our own range of sustainably crafted GOODEE products. We also tirelessly seek out like-minded makers and doers who are using their vision to craft a more considered world, so we can bring them to you. From home decor to accessories, and home fragrances to personal care, each essential item in our collection is carefully selected and vetted by our in-house sustainability team for its thoughtful design and impact. A GOODEE stamp of approval means that every item we offer is transparently sourced, ethically made, and designed to last. Our brand partners report to us on their materials, supply chain, labor standards, ecological footprint, and business practices. Inspired by the UN’s sustainable development goals, we are uncompromising in our standards and that’s something we feel good about. And as you explore our products and brands — each telling its own authentic story — we know you’ll feel the GOODEE spirit, too.
Stories
We believe in the power of storytelling. By sharing the stories of the creators, the artisans, and the entrepreneurs who inspire us, we want to shine a light on the moving stories behind our products and amplify diverse voices with unique perspectives. As sharing thoughts can spark new ideas, we want to provide a welcoming space for reflection and meaningful conversations, and inspire positive action to make the world a more beautiful place. We believe that magic happens when your circle gets wider and your table gets longer. So have a seat and make yourself comfortable: You'll be in good company.
