Quality over quantity. That has always been our mantra - and if you know someone, or yourself chose to live a life guided by minimalism - quality is a critical part of their everyday decision making.
To help you find ease and gift with thoughtfulness to the minimalist in your life, we’ve curated a list of locally coveted items by Pittsburgh retailers, PA-based designers and makers:
