The Citizenry is a home decor brand that is reinventing the way consumers shop for their homes. We source modern designs rich in quality and meaning from master artisans around the globe. We seek to inspire our customers with the stories of the people who make our products and have built a brand that represents superior craftsmanship, transparency, and social responsibility.

Frustrated by the mass-produced options offered at traditional retailers, The Citizenry set out to transform the home goods sector by shining a light on the artisans behind the products. We believe our designs are only as beautiful as the environments in which they are made, so paying fair wages and investing in our artisan workshops and communities are integral parts of our model. Since The Citizenry launched in 2015, we have been empowering economic uplift through consistent ordering strategies and by partnering with cooperatives and companies that share our commitment to Fair Trade principles. 

By selling directly to consumers online, we eliminate unnecessary mark-ups, enabling us to offer handcrafted, luxury home goods at more affordable prices.  Our goal is to be the home decor brand for the conscious customer.

In 2021, The Citizenry was recognized as one of Fast Company’s 10 most innovative retailers.
