What's makes Designed Good different from many online social good websites that sell ethical products is firstly, it's focus on design and secondly, that it's based around being a newsletter where items are emailed to you on a weekly basis. It's a membership-based companies in which members get special deals on the products offered.
Some of the past products include clothing such as Back to the 80's Sweater, Mr. Bean Beanie, Sound the Alarm tank and home accessories such as Vers 1Q speakers and a Backgammon Set DIY Kit.
The start-up social business was founded in Williamstown, Massachusetts not too long ago, in April of 2012, when it received the Williams College Business Plan competition in the same month.
