Domesticated Engineer is a premium artisan low waste living company crafting sustainable and stylish tools for mindful living. We individually handcraft our products with sustainably sourced materials and produce zero textile waste. We source our materials directly from mills and local producers with the highest social and environmental standards.
Our mission is to provide our customers with the most clean and cheerful home goods that inspire local, handmade living and meaningful home gatherings.
Zero Waste
We are a zero textile waste sewn and finished goods company. 100% of our fabric is used across our entire collection of eco-friendly lifestyle products. By intentional use of our materials, we have been able to offset thousands of pounds of pre-consumer textile waste.
Locally Sourced
We limit our product’s carbon footprint by sourcing from local mills, farmers and producers. Many of our products travel less than 1500 miles from the time the cotton seed is planted to when our sewn good reaches the customer.
We are a Georgia Grown Company that sources wool, plant based materials and beeswax from local, family owned farms and homesteads that focus on sustainable agricultural practices.
Clean Materials
The fabrics used for our kitchen goods are organic and/or OEKO-Tex Certified fabrics which make them free of harmful chemicals, dyes and detergents.
Andrea is a sewing educator, pattern designer and the face behind Domesticated Engineer. She is an Atlanta native who started sewing in middle school home economics and never stopped.
