Love Notes From Our Community
I purchased multiple of these to give as gift baskets and everyone loved them! They held everything beautifully and will be cherished for many years to come I hope.
I bought a pair of these lovely baskets and have used them in almost every room. They’re perfect for gathering shoes next to the door, extra towels in the bathroom, an overflow of toys in the living room. So useful and cute!
It is made well. Very simple and elegant!
We love this basket, and it's a go-to for our team. The color tones are just right, and the size is perfect for bathroom styling (which is what we tend to use it for most).
I love this basket. It is squished for shipping but spray it with water and it is easily reshaped. It’s roomy and looks great!
★★★★★Kori H.This is STUNNING! Y'all have done it again! I am so impressed with your products and the artisans you partner with. These products are natural, beautiful, and unique. They hit on trends but also beautifully depict those that hand-make them. No questions, I just wanted you to know I am grateful to have found your shop! :)
★★★★★Lynn K.Every item I have purchased from Roan Iris has brought more beauty, function and artistry to my family's home. These homewares are so well designed and beautifully crafted, they have actually made basic household tasks and routines more pleasant. And Roan Iris's customer service is as exceptional and attentive to detail as the products they offer. What a joy!
★★★★★Kirsten M. C.There is so much I love about this company, including their intention, their support of small artisans and real people, along with quality and sustainable materials. Everything is beautiful and a work of art, including their brooms. The customer service is exceptional as well. I feel supported with every interaction. I will continue to support such a heart centered business that makes the world more beautiful.
★★★★★Jen L.I just received my second order, and I cannot express how happy I am with it. I ordered the long and the short brass wall sconces, candles, and the breathtaking votive candle chandelier. Everything came packaged very nicely and arrived in perfect condition.
★★★★★Maha H.Super inspired! Love what you do and offer and I hope to order as much as possible for my clients from you.
★★★★★Jennifer A.My infant daughter recently spent some time in the ICU and her kantha baby blanket was one of the only things of hers from home that we had with us. It was a source of comfort and kept her warm and swaddled her over the cords for her entire stay. We love Connected Goods and these blankets specifically.
★★★★★Ashley R.I just absolutely love everything about your company and what it stands for as well as the beauty, craftsmanship and quality of your products. I have been beyond pleased, in awe and overjoyed with every product I have received from your company. I also love knowing that with each handcrafted item I purchase, I am supporting such an important cause. These are simply beautiful, timeless and elegant pieces that will truly stand the test of time.
