Why we sell seconds

We started Misprint Goods after a tour of a ceramics factory outside Amsterdam, where a manager walked us past a pallet of vases headed for the crusher. Not broken. Not cracked. Just a glaze that drifted, a stamp that landed crooked, a colour half a shade off the swatch.

Thousands of euros of genuinely good design, scrapped because a catalogue photo has to look identical to the next one. That rule keeps the brands clean and keeps the planet buried.

So we made a deal: send us the seconds instead of the skip. We photograph the flaw, write down exactly what it is, drop the price to match, and let someone who cares more about a vase than a catalogue take it home.

Every order here is one fewer object in a landfill and one design brand that scrapped a little less this month. The flaw is the whole point. We just refuse to be quiet about it.
