You probably know Lily Kanter for her eponymous home goods company Serena & Lily, which she cofounded with Serena Dugan in 2003. Now the beloved Mill Valley, California designer and philanthropist is announcing her latest undertaking: online retailer Boon Supply Co. Among its 200-something offerings, you’ll find stylish goods for the home, kitchen, garden, travel, and office. To make things more attractive, prices range from $12 to $50, with 75 percent of products less than $25—and if that weren’t enough, 50 percent of every purchase goes to an organization that the buyer picks.

The aptly named Boon Supply Co. started when Kanter was approached to buy an existing school fundraising company. "I’ve been dreaming about a democratized giving and shopping platform for many years," she says. "It felt like serendipity to use the school fundraising business as a foundation to build the shopping platform for any cause."

Serena & Lily Teak Sling Chair
A laid-back favorite, our classic sling pairs a sleek teak frame with weather-friendly fabrics in a range of solids and patterns – so you can withstand the elements in style, season after season. Over time, teak will take on a silvery grey patina, giving your chair a look that's full of character.
Serena & Lily Solid La Jolla Basket
These lidded baskets give storage a beachy spin, with strips of recycled plastic wrapped around coils of neutral seagrass. Use it to store everything from toys to craft supplies, linens to laundry. Because each basket is crafted by hand, no two will be exactly alike, adding to its charm.
Serena & Lily Teak Ladder Mirror
A great idea for almost any room in the house. The tall, narrow shape creates a sense of height in rooms where the ceilings are less than cathedral – and the mirror makes it practical, as well beautiful.
