Curated goods
Vail Gifts
Everyday objects, made properly.
We work with a short list of makers we have visited in person, and we keep that list short on purpose.
The practice covers buying, stock and the shop floor, and has been based in Chattanooga, Tennessee since 2016.

How engagements are run
Written scope first
Nothing starts without a short brief we both sign off. It states what is included, what is not, and what we need from you to hold the dates.
Priced per engagement
We quote the piece of work, not the hour. If the scope moves we price the change and tell you before we do it — never in the invoice afterwards.
The person you meet does the work
No handover to a junior team after signature. That is the practical limit on how many clients we take at once, and we would rather keep it.
Start with a conversation, not a proposal
Tell us the decision you are facing. If we are the wrong people for it you will know inside a day, and it will not cost you anything. See how we handle what you send us in our privacy notice.
