If anyone can make doing laundry feel like a luxury rather than a chore, it’s the women behind The Laundress. Founded in 2004 by Lindsey Boyd and Gwen Whiting, The Laundress sells detergent and home cleaning products that pair effective, environmentally-friendly formulas with sophisticated packaging and scents. That marriage of purpose and aesthetics is something Boyd carries into her whole home, where even her broom is thoughtfully chosen.

“It’s always been important to me to fill my home with things that are made to last,” she says. “I’d rather invest in a well-crafted item that I can keep forever and pass down to my children than… on something that will end up in a landfill in a couple of years.” We asked her to share some of her favorite pieces that she and her family enjoy today, tomorrow, and for years to come.
