BE GOOD
The Oeuf Manifesto
When we were kids, anytime our parents dropped us off somewhere, like school, summer camp or our grandparents’ house for the weekend, they gave us a hug and a kiss and told us to “be good!” as they waved goodbye.
As kids, we took this to mean: Don’t cut your sister’s hair, don’t glue yourself to the wall, don’t go running off into the woods with nothing but your underwear and a toothbrush. At the time, it was mostly about good behavior.
Now, as parents, we realize there is a whole other level of meaning when we kiss them goodbye and tell them to be good. We know we’re really telling them to be good people. Do the right thing. Live in a way you’re proud of.
As Oeuf, when we say “be good,” we mean...
Be Good Designers
Create streamlined, intuitive products that are safe and easy to use; made with quality craftsmanship that will last from generation to generation; designed with a European sensibility that is thoughtful and timeless, reflecting the needs and lifestyles of today’s families.
Be Good People
Respect the people who work with us and treat them fairly, whether employees, artisans, retailers or consumers. Provide a safe and supportive working environment that allows families to thrive in the United States, Europe and abroad. Honor cultural traditions, diversity and local values. Pay equitable wages that enable people to lead healthy and fulfilling lives and send their own children to school.
Be Good to the Planet
Use natural, renewable, recyclable materials that lead to environmentally sound products. Employ eco-conscious manufacturing processes that promote conservation and sustainability. Respect animal welfare by utilizing humane practices in the sourcing of fibers.
Be Good is not just something we say, it's something we mean. As parents, we want our children to inherit a world that is better than we found it. As Oeuf, we have the ability to make that happen.
