Founding Story & Commitment to Honest Living
Alder Living started out of frustration with mass-market home goods and everyday apparel. Too many store shelves were lined with synthetic polyester blends that pilled quickly, scented candles filled with artificial paraffin, and imported pet gear that snapped under modest tension. We wanted reliable everyday goods built from honest materials that feel right in the hands.
We established our workshop at 1401 Chestnut St right here in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Our goal was simple: produce comfortable clothing, clean-burning soy candles, plant-based beard care, and sturdy dog accessories in small batches. We partner with responsible fabric mills and tanneries, ensuring every item is visually checked before it gets packed into our recyclable boxes.
We choose transparent dealings over retail gimmicks. Our prices reflect the cost of quality cotton and pure oils, without inflated markups. Customers can pay securely by direct bank transfer or convenient cash on delivery, backed by a straightforward 30-day return policy on unused items.
We test every scent blend and fabric weave in our own homes to make sure it performs gracefully in daily life.
Natural Raw Bases
We rely on soy wax, organic cotton, cold-pressed plant oils, and vegetable-tanned leather without synthetic fillers. This keeps our goods pleasant to touch, wear, and scent throughout the day.
Workshop Attention
Every single item is handled and reviewed by our team before parceling. We check wicks, seams, closures, and hardware directly on our Chattanooga benches.
Clear Customer Care
We keep shopping straightforward with cash on delivery, bank transfers, and a clean 30-day return window. If something is not right, our local team fixes it promptly.
