Who are we:
Caraway is a home goods brand on a mission to craft well-designed, non-toxic kitchenware that thoughtfully raises the standards of what you cook with. We’re passionate about creating elevated products, free of chemicals, that are better for you, your family, and the world. We prioritize a holistic approach to the creation of Caraway products. We partner with ethical manufacturers where their employees are safe, paid fairly, given benefits, and work regulated hours. Our eco-friendly manufacturing process releases less CO2 into the environment than traditional non-stick coatings and we engage in sustainable packaging practices, free of single-use plastics and ship in packaging made from recycled materials. We pride ourselves on continuously striving to do and be better - for you and the planet - every step of the process. 

Since launching in November 2019, we’ve become one of the fastest growing digitally-native brands of the last decade and are now sold in retailers including Target, Bloomingdale’s, Crate & Barrel, Container Store, Costco, Zola, and many more.

We’ve amassed over 70,000+ five-star reviews from happy customers and hundreds of press hits from the likes of Vogue, Domino, Good Housekeeping, Food & Wine, Architectural Digest, PureWow, Fortune, CNN.
