Our approach to product selection

The DDD boutique – for Dedicated to Sustainable Design – guides the selection of its products according to the values ​​in which it deeply believes. In addition to having a clean and timeless design first, these values ​​are sustainability, quality, responsibility, transparency and ethics.

We believe that today's consumers are increasingly aware of their purchases and are now ready to make more responsible choices. Even if they are open to changing their habits, the reality is that they do not have the time to do in-depth research to find products that align with their values. The DDD store is there to make their task easier and give them access to a selection of products already based on these criteria. Here is a summary of the 3 rules and 12 criteria that we use to guide our selection:

RULE 1
Design
The product has a clean and timeless aesthetic. It does not belong to a fashion or a trend, it will last over time.

RULE 2
Sustainable
The product has a high level of manufacturing quality as well as an exceptional warranty. We advocate quality rather than quantity.

RULE 3
Responsible
The product is responsible because it meets one or more of our responsibility criteria. Check them out below.
