Made to be useful. Designed for clarity. Built to last.
Mission
We believe that everything — whether it’s a fragrance, a wallet, or a simple interaction, should be good. Good to use, good to look at, good for the people who make it, and good for the people who live with it.
We design objects, fragrances, and experiences with that in mind, built to last, built to be remembered, and made to make life a little better.
About
Owner and founder Tyler Deeb had no idea that redesigning a deck of playing cards would lead to a life spent designing everything from fragrances to leather goods. The opportunities came naturally, rooted in a core belief: that getting to design anything at all is a privilege.
Of course, for it to be a sustainable business, people have to like what you make, and to Tyler’s joy, people have been supporting Misc. Goods since 2012, whether for a wallet or a bottle of cologne.
Today, everything remains grounded in that original belief: to make things with care, with a clear point of view, and with the understanding that goodness is at the root of lasting success.
01
DESIGN & INNOVATION
We don’t design for screens. We design to be held, used, and kept.
Every product, from scent to packaging to form, goes through a long stretch of sketching, sampling, and second-guessing. We think about where materials come from, how things feel in the hand, and what role they’ll play in someone’s day. We test, refine, and ask questions until it feels right.
The goal isn’t to make more stuff, it’s to make things that matter. Things that are unique, that bring a new perspective to a fragrance, an object, or a ritual. Things people will use, keep, and remember.
02
Quality
That’s why we work with the best ingredients, producers, and manufacturers in the USA. We use natural fragrant oils, hardwoods, ceramics, terrazzo, and recyclable packaging, materials that carry weight, age well, and are chosen with care.
If we’re not making it ourselves within our studio workshop in Louisville, KY, we work with partners who are craftspeople in their own right. Like us, they take pride in the details, and we stay hands- on through every step of the process. If something doesn’t hold up, we don’t ship it. Quality isn’t a feature. It’s the baseline.
03
Goodness
Good work has been at the center of this company from the start, not just in what we make, but in how we make it.
We aim to be good to the planet by choosing sustainable materials and low-waste packaging. Good to our customers by standing behind what we sell and treating people with respect. And good to our team and partners by building a business that values fairness, honesty, and collaboration.
Being good isn’t a marketing angle. It’s the kind of company we want to run.
04
Fragrance, on purpose
We didn’t set out to build a fragrance company, but scent slowly became the heart of what we do. It gave us a new way to connect with people and a new challenge to get better at.
As we’ve grown, we’ve stayed deliberate. We choose raw, organic extracts when we can. We make our fragrances more sustainable, more functional, and more memorable, without cutting corners.
Every product we add is built with the same care as the first. Growth, for us, isn’t about more. It’s about better.
