A Note from Me

Every item I create or curate at Rochambeau Home is a choice—a reflection of the values I want to live by and share. Choosing eco-friendly materials, supporting local artists, and prioritizing fair trade isn’t just a marketing decision; it’s a way for me to create beauty with meaning.

Respect for the Planet

Eco-friendly materials are at the heart of everything I do. From packaging to product selection, I focus on reducing waste and using materials that are sustainable whenever possible. I want the joy my items bring to you to come without costing the earth. Simple swaps, like packaging wax seal stickers on cards instead of plastic, are one way I make my process kinder to the environment.

Supporting Local Artists

I work directly with local artists and small makers because I believe in the power of community and creativity. Every collaboration is personal, allowing me to showcase unique craftsmanship and stories that mass-produced items simply cannot offer. When you purchase these items, you’re connecting with the hands and hearts behind them—supporting someone’s livelihood and a creative vision.

Fair Trade Matters

Fair trade principles guide my sourcing. I choose artisans and suppliers who are paid fairly and treated ethically for their work. It’s important to me that every product reflects respect—for the maker, for the craft, and for the people who touch it along the way. Mass-produced items often sacrifice both quality and ethics; I refuse to compromise on either.

A Better Alternative to Mass Production

Mass-produced goods can feel impersonal and disposable. I want every piece in Rochambeau Home to feel intentional, handcrafted, and meaningful. Each item tells a story, whether it’s a wax seal sticker, a curated gift box, or a locally sourced décor piece. Choosing eco-friendly, fair trade, and local isn’t just better for the planet and the makers—it’s better for the way we celebrate life, give gifts, and surround ourselves with beauty.

An Invitation

When you shop with me, you’re not just buying a product—you’re supporting a small, woman-owned business, local artists, sustainable practices, and ethical craftsmanship. Together, we can make choices that honor creativity, the planet, and the people who make our favorite things possible.
