Editorial Policy
At Uncommon & Curated, our mission to uncover exceptional design is underpinned by a commitment to rigorous editorial standards. We believe that true luxury requires transparency; therefore, our discovery process is guided by professional discernment rather than commercial influence. This policy outlines our dedication to independent research, the industry-informed perspectives that shape our curation, and the ethical framework that ensures our recommendations remain an untarnished resource for the discerning reader.
Editorial Policy
1. Editorial Independence
Our first loyalty is to our readers. All brand features and product recommendations are chosen independently by our editorial team based on their merit, craftsmanship, and alignment with the Uncommon & Curated aesthetic. We do not accept payment in exchange for positive reviews or guaranteed placement in our curated edits.
2. Affiliate Disclosure
To support our editorial operations, we may participate in various affiliate marketing programs. This means we may earn a commission on products purchased through our links. However, this never influences our selection process. We only recommend products we truly believe in and would use ourselves.
3. Sourcing & Expertise
Our content is produced and vetted by industry professionals, including fashion merchandisers, licensed estheticians, and design experts. We prioritize primary research and expert testimony over algorithmic trends. Our selections are born from a rigorous discovery cycle that includes scouting independent ateliers, consulting with industry specialists, and sourcing directly from international design fairs to uncover brands before they reach the mass market.
4. Accuracy & Updates
The world of design and beauty moves fast. We strive to keep our articles and brand guides as up-to-date as possible. If we discover a change in a brand's quality or ethical standing, we re-evaluate our recommendation accordingly.
