Common Deer was founded on the idea that everything is better with a bit of character. We stock our shelves with goods that are full of story - where it was made, how, who, and why. Focusing on Made in America and small batch manufacturing, we showcase goods from craftsmen and companies that are creating quality products and driving our economy forward from the ground up. Our manufacturers employ thousands of American workers and support thousands of families. We're often asked the origin of the name "Common Deer" - and yes, it is a play on the word Commandeer. Don't worry, we won't try to steal your ship (unless it's a really ridiculously nice one). We find it best to explain our name with the aid of a pair of hand antlers when saying "Deer" (do it, you'll enjoy it). The name refers to our desire for everyone to live with the "common" good in mind. So go on... Common Deer it. Buy something American Made that supports American workers, spreads out wealth, cuts down on overseas freight pollution, was produced in environmentally and socially conscious ways, and will last longer. While it is not always possible, when you can, please consider buying American Made. We have worked hard to comb the country for our favorite USA made products, and we're excited to share our collection with you. Whether you're shopping online or visiting our shop at 210 College Street in Burlington, VT, please don't hesitate to reach out with questions. Our online shop is just a small sampling of what we showcase in our bricks and mortar shop. So for the full experience, plan a trip in to see much more of our collection! Common Deer is family owned and operated, with support from an amazing group of rockstar employees.
