Why Shop Small with HIZIBEAN

Choosing to shop at small businesses is a conscious decision that can have a significant impact on our communities and the environment. By supporting small businesses, we contribute to local economies, increasing job opportunities and community development. When you purchase from a small business, your money directly supports the dreams, hobbies and aspirations of real people who want to share what they love to the world. Small businesses often prioritize ethical and sustainable practices. They source for the best materials locally and internationally, minimize waste, and produce small batch items, reducing their environmental footprint.

HIZIBEAN is a 2-person small business, and we occasionally hire a person or two to help us with quality control, designs and prints. Our goals include spreading our mission and designs locally and open competitive jobs with awesome benefits, work-life balance and schedule flexibility to our full time employees in the future.

We plan on keeping our stocks low and based on demand only to avoid unnecessary waste. We are also very mindful of where our products will end up after it has reached its usability, and we are encouraging you to read our blog about tips on how to upcycle your HIZIBEAN products. We will gladly accept your used and unwanted products from us just to prevent them from going into our oceans and make them into something useful. 

Our prices are on the higher side because we produce high-quality small batches to prevent overstocking on supplies. Small batch production is significantly more expensive than large batches like how most of the larger companies do it, but most of those also end up not being sold and thrown away into the landfills. We don't support overconsumption. We ourselves do not buy things we do not need to save space and money. We are encouraging our customers to spend money on hobbies, experiences and adventures rather than on material things. If you like going on adventures while feeling classy and cute, then our fitness sets are definitely worth your bucks! It is important to us to acquire customers who share the same feelings and vision as us. We also donate to organizations that are dear to us as a way of giving back.

By choosing to shop at small businesses, you're not only supporting local economies but also contributing to a more sustainable future.

Be eco-conscious. Support small. Start small. Shop small.
