We started with a simple question

Why should you choose between quality, sustainability, and design? In our small studio in Portland, we began prototyping products we'd actually want to live with — durable water bottles, organic cotton basics, and home goods made from recycled materials.

Today, Shop Zen serves over 50,000 customers worldwide, but our process hasn't changed. We still test every product for 100+ days, work directly with ethical makers, and plant a tree for every order.
