About 🏕️ Little Known Goods

Little Known Goods is a woman-owned, Denver-based gift and lifestyle brand featuring illustrated maps and colorful designs that bring your adventures home 🏕💗

We specialize in vibrant, outdoorsy (and sometimes cozy, indoorsy) designs, inspired by little-known gems off the beaten path.

Rooted in our home state of Colorado, we’re always adding new places and nature-inspired designs for those who love to remember their adventures with a colorful keepsake.

I'm Hillery—I love finding a life balance of going on adventures and creating art that captures that feeling I have while out on the trail, camping, or exploring new cities with my little family.

My goal is to create something that adds life and color to your wall, water bottle, or hiking pack while also being a conversation starter about places you've been or plan to visit. Each map I design is well researched, mapped out accurately, and then illustrated and labeled by hand—so my maps are a combination of data and art.

Sustainability

There’s something special about well-made physical goods, but we have to ask ourselves if every good is worth making and what the environmental impact of it is. We do everything within our power at Little Known Goods to reduce plastic use and waste, and spend a little extra to invest in sustainable suppliers and materials to not feed into the disposable culture that produces lasting negative impacts.

Evergreen design

We want to limit the amount of products we put in the world rather than pump out disposable designs every season. Every illustrated map takes many hours of research, drawing, and designing because we want to produce timeless design using quality materials. When we print runs, we always look to reduce waste and order only what there’s a demand for.

We also use archival paper, ink, and packaging materials to make sure your purchased art lasts as long as it can.

Eco-friendly packaging

We ship our prints with EcoEnclose biodegradable mailers and tape, and limit use of plastic wherever possible while still protecting the artwork until it makes it to your wall.
