our story


OUR MISSION

Doing good is a way of life. A name to live by. We believe that good things come to those who do good things. Good Behavior is more than a name or a brand. It’s a motto we can all stand by — and a reminder that every one of us has what it takes to do a world of good.

Sustainable, ethical and giving back to a community in need, each of our products is more than a personal statement – it’s a good deed in action. And it’s our mission to spread the love far and wide.

Finding sustainable, ethically produced and crafted products is what we are all about. The proceeds directly benefit the artisans, fishermen and their families. Bringing these items to you is how we seek to do good in the world. Now it’s an opportunity for you to do good as well.

KENYA

Handmade. Upcycled. Ethically Produced.

This is where it all started. Good Behavior’s love story.

Like all good stories, ours began with love. More specifically, with a weathered sailcloth bag emblazoned with a red heart. Struck by the feeling that this bag had traveled the globe to find us, we embarked upon a voyage of our own, retracing the bag’s itinerary to a tiny fishing village in Kenya called Lamu.

It turned out that our bag was one-of-a-kind and made by a collective of artisans from the sails of retired fishing boats. Standing as an emblem of heritage, pride and income, every bag was a passionate continuation of Lamu’s maritime traditions.

What we found was more than a meeting of worlds: it was a meeting of hearts. This was where we wanted to be. Working in close collaboration with the villagers, we’re proud to be acting as stewards for the work of Lamu’s artisans and fishermen.

We kept it simple with just one rug size—of which is proportionally designed to complement most popular furniture. Our rugs are globally inspired and made in small batches with words that offer hope, and provoke feelings of empowerment.
