Why we won't be taking part in a Black Friday Sale
Welcome to a different kind of Black Friday at Kayu Home. As the Christmas shopping season approaches and the rush for Black Friday deals intensifies, many of us are drawn into the frenzy of big discounts and mass consumption. However, at Kayu Home, we aim to take a step back from this annual tradition through our commitment to sustainability, quality, and ethical craftsmanship. We believe that true value doesn't come from a hefty discount once a year, but from investing in well-made, thoughtful pieces that have been repurposed or designed and made to last. With this in mind, we thought we’d explore why choosing to shop with integrity can be more rewarding than chasing short-lived bargains.

Timeless Pieces, Thoughtfully Made
Shopping with Kayu Home means investing in timeless pieces which have been thoughtfully made and are designed and built to last. Instead of buying cheap, ‘disposable’ items, we believe that it’s better for us and the planet to choose furniture and homewares created by skilled craftsmen, who take great pride in making items intended to be looked after, cherished and kept for many years to come.
Our stock is limited; offering handcrafted items made in small batches, rather than low-quality bulk manufacturing which relies on volume of sales to measure success. In addition, by supplying ethical items which have been made with pride, care and skill, we believe that it’s important that the quality of the products we sell isn’t undervalued or compromised by discounted prices. As a result, you’ll find that our pricing remains fair and transparent all year round to ensure consistent good value.

Embrace Vintage and Antique Furniture
Alongside our range of new, handcrafted furniture, we also offer an ever-changing selection of antique Chinese furniture and vintage Indian furniture. Choosing pre-loved items such as these offers a wonderful way to repurpose beautiful pieces, whilst avoiding the wastage of existing furniture.
At Kayu Home we work with skilled craftsmen who are experts in carefully updating and restoring antique and vintage pieces, breathing a new lease of life into furniture which boasts a unique patina and decades of character.
Shopping When It Makes Sense For You
We believe that shopping during the sales or ‘Black Friday’ season simply adds pressure by encouraging customers to rush into purchases they don’t need or necessarily want. We aim to encourage mindful consumption; ensuring every purchase is intentional and isn’t driven by pressurised shopping to make the most of short-term discounts or sales pressure. Shopping with consideration is the best way to choose items that will give you pleasure and last long into the future. As William Morris himself said: “Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.”
Our Commitment to Great Service and Fair Prices
At Kayu Home we are committed to offering you exceptional customer service combined with fair pricing. We give smaller discounts throughout the year when possible, and believe that our customer testimonials speak for themselves: “individual, well-made items,” “superb quality,” and “I recommend Kayu to anyone interested in owning furniture that is different, a one-off, beautiful and practical in their home.”
