Amazon might be the place you turn to when mouthwash and toilet paper are low in stock at home, but did you know that well-known design brands are also lurking in its proverbial aisles? While you may think you’d be more likely to find Kartell and Crow Canyon at curated homeware shops, ordering them on Amazon means you won’t have to pay shipping fees or deal with spinning clock-level wait times. All you need is a friend to tell you what brands to search for. (It’s me; I’m the friend.) Shop our top 11 most un-Amazon brands on Amazon, below. 

Craighill

The Brooklyn-based homeware brand is known for its quality materials and smart, minimalist design. And everyone has room for a little cork catchall.

Alessi

Alessi works with the most acclaimed names in design—we’re talking Ettore Sottsass and Aldo Rossi. So it’s no wonder that its accessories are nothing less than perfection. The pieces are more than just pretty faces, too; for example, this teapot is designed with a wide bottom to heat up water faster.

Duralex

These heavy-duty French-made glasses can withstand pretty much anything. Plus it doesn’t get more affordable than $3 per tumbler. We recommend serving wine in them for a casual Parisian look.

W+P

Tupperware isn’t what it used to be, and neither are to-go cups or plastic baggies. W+P offers reusable options in a soothing pastel palette—because, yes, a mint-hued bowl will make the salad you pack taste better.
