In a world driven by the desire for aesthetically pleasing possessions, we recognize the innate human inclination towards beauty.

We believe in the power of merging beauty and ethics to redefine the landscape of the consumption industry. To truly compete with industry giants, ethical products must embody the same allure, magnetism, and appeal that conventional counterparts possess.

Our mission is not to compromise on ethics to meet beauty standards but to elevate ethical choices to a level where they become the preferred option. By emphasizing the allure of ethical products, we can reshape consumer preferences and promote a sustainable and responsible approach to consumption.We want to become the number 1 destination for ethical shopping globally by continuing to onboard great brands and marketing to all art and design lovers worldwide.

We believe in transparency and expect our partner brands to clearly communicate to customers in what ways they make a difference. This empowers our customers to make informed decisions when purchasing beautiful products.

OUR PROCESS

Selection & Curation

Before onboarding a partner brand, we make sure that they are honest and that their mission aligns with ours.

We need to believe that they are making a genuine effort and offer a significantly more sustainable solution than most retailers.

Not only every seller but every single product featured on Saintville has undergone our rigorous evaluation process.

We ensure that they’re not just greenwashing by cross-checking their products with their ethos or sustainability statement.

The more a brand refrains from sharing information on their materials and production processes on their website, the more thoroughly we will examine their responses to our inquiries.

OUR PROCESS

We support a circular economy

We support an economy that favours activities that preserve value in the form of energy, labour, and materials.

This means we feature products designed for durability, reuse, remanufacturing, and recycling to keep products, components, and materials circulating in the economy.

We are huge Vintage-enthusiasts. One of the most sustainable ways to shop is by choosing pre-loved items which we strongly encourage and prioritise.

We also feature products made from upcycled, recycled and ideally recyclable materials.

OUR PROCESS

We care about people

We only accept brands that ensure safe and healthy working conditions for all employees, contractors, and business partners throughout their operations.

Workers may be at risk due to hazardous and strenuous tasks, long working hours, inadequate safety equipment or controls, or the nature of repetitive tasks.

We also aim to democratise the art market by supporting underrepresented and emerging talent.

We make an effort to be inclusive and to represent all that human diversity has to offer.

Products listed on Saintville are safer to use than what high street retailers offer.

OUR PROCESS

We protect nature and animal welfare

Newly manufactured products need to be cruelty free, safe & toxin free.

We favour biodegradable and organic materials, products that are locally made, handmade and made to order.

We encourage our partners to use sustainable packaging and to avoid plastic.

Values we look out for

  • Vintage

    Vintage pieces are 20+ years old - therefor every item is naturally in limited supply and sometimes the last one of its kind! They often have a rich history and display unique features and textures creating a nostalgic chic you just can't reproduce.

  • Pre-loved

    By reusing existing contemporary items we can reduce waste and minimise the demand for new production. Passing on our possessions can extend their life cycle to a higher potential and ultimately minimise our ecological footprint.

  • Natural Materials

    The cultivation of natural materials often requires fewer synthetic inputs, reducing the use of energy and harmful chemical substances. Furthermore, these materials also biodegrade naturally, minimising environmental pollution.

  • Handmade

    Buying handmade products crafted by skilled artisans helps preserve traditional skills, supports local economies and reduces the demand for large-scale manufacturing. The attention of an experienced maker often produces unique items of higher quality and longevity.

  • Locally Made

    Buying locally made products fosters a sense of connection to the community, preserves cultural identity and supports ethical production practices. Additionally shorter supply chains have a lower environmental impact as transportation emissions are minimised.

  • Vegan

    Choosing vegan products promotes the protection of animal welfare, reduces environmental impact and supports ethical practices. Avoiding animal exploitation fosters a compassionate lifestyle and promotes a more sustainable and cruelty-free world.
