"Design,
stripped to its essence, can be defined as the human nature to shape
and make our environment in ways without precedent in nature to serve
our needs and give meaning to our lives." - John Heskett
Honfleur Home™ features a contemporary collection of items that
feel good to the touch, please the eye and ear, and showcase the very
best in accessibly priced and highly polished design. We have a single
guiding principle: all that we offer must feature superior quality,
design, and value, in keeping with our slogan "The Simple Quality
of Being Well Made."
Our fabrics and ready-made products are by designers both known and
well-publicized as well as those whom we believe are poised to become
known and publicized. We are a source for goods and handicrafts not
carried by major retailers, including fabric, yarn, clothing and loungewear,
linens, housewares, original artwork, and award-winning children's toys
and books. We consider ourselves the reinvented version of the store
that used to be right around the corner. The one where you'd go just
to poke around and where the smell of a good cup of joe hung in the
air. The place where the proprietors cared about earning your business
(even though its since become a Starbucks) and the one where everybody
knew your name (okay, wait -- no, that's not us, that's the bar, and
it's still there).
We invite you to consider us when you've concluded that while choice
is a good thing, it's simply headache inducing to navigate sites that
have endless categories of "stuff" alongside affiliates who also offer
"stuff" (used? new? what is that exactly?). And then there's peace of
mind: our items are shipped from our own distribution facility, which
means that we have seen and assessed the quality of all the products that we sell and fulfill.
Whether for yourself or someone else, we deliver the hard-to-find without
compromising on presentation, convenience, or style. Our gift orders
are beautifully presented and shipped, and we pledge never to toss a
lovely item that is still in its shrink-wrap into a box and declare
it memorable. We ship worldwide, have accurate
sizing charts for the clothing and linens we carry, and can tell you
anything you may wish to know about the item that you are contemplating.
A Word About Our Name
For those of you curious about the genesis of our store's name,
we'd like you to know that Honfleur Home holds three distinct meanings
for us. First, it is a positively beautiful haven in Normandy, France
- an oasis pure and simple that is located on the Seine and home to
many painters, writers, and musicians. Second, for those of us still
inspired by and mindful of the courage and sacrifice associated with
the landings at Normandy, the name Honfleur will conjure a particular
type of meaning. Finally, our founders simply loved the sound of the
word in and of itself. Though our name may be imported from France,
our store is decidedly a reflection of the value of freedom and opportunity
in this country.
Placing Your Order
Ordering online is simple and secure. You will be free from
all surprise online purchasing hassles, including pop-up ads, demographic
data sharing, and auto-email subscription lists. Our selections ship
by trackable media within three days of order receipt unless otherwise
noted in our product description. We respect the privacy of our customers
and do not share information with outside parties nor do we store billing
data on any of our servers. We ship worldwide at competitive rates and
accept all major credit cards as well as Pay Pal and checks.
At the same time, we are also reachable by phone, believe in the value
of human connection, and are pleased to answer any questions that you
may have. Reach us weekdays on 800-656-3587 between 9 am and 5 pm EST.
We are here to provide knowledgeable, top-notch customer service.
What We Support
A set portion of proceeds from our stores are earmarked for programs
in the arts and education. Examples of the entities to which we direct
proceeds include The Levine School of Music, The American Film Institute,
and The Duke Ellington School for The Arts. Our community involvement
and support includes scholarships for children to attend music school;
funding to promote literacy initiatives; lectures and interactive talks
by Washington, DC area speakers, artists, and musicians who both inspire
and represent the spectrum of professions. If you're interested in speaking
with us about a liaison or affiliation, please contact
us.
Something Different
If you are an artist, designer, musician, or author who has
an existing portfolio or completed work that is distinctive and merits
distribution, please submit an
expression of interest. We handle publicity, public outreach, and
product exposure through distribution, agent representatiion, and patron
relationships.
Vendor Inquiries
A portion of our e-commerce site is set aside to represent new
product launches that are being brought to market and complement our
core offering. If you're interested in potentially seeing your product
represented on the Honfleur Home website, please send an
expression of interest and include digital images of your work.
While we cannot reply to every inquiry we receive, we will promptly
reply to those that we wish to assess.
