G.K.P. - Good Kitchen Products

Established in Santa Barbara California, 2017

​

 

Our products are designed to be practical.

But they are not only practical.

 

We aim to create sustainable, long-lasting and beautiful kitchen products that can inspire you every day. Whether in home or a professional setting, we want to elevate your kitchen and daily experiences beyond the merely practical. 

 

Skilled artisans artfully handcraft each of our flagship aprons locally in the Santa Barbara/LA area, which have received praise for both their aesthetics and quality-design from renowned professionals and home chefs alike. 

​

As the present and future of our planet is also important to us, we donate 1% of our proceeds towards ocean plastic pollution clean up efforts.

We make sure to use ecologically-friendly manufacturing that minimizes our carbon footprint and rely on sustainable business practices. 

​

 

In this way, you can not only enjoy our creations but also feel good about using them.

​

 

G.K.P. is a woman-owned company. Our Founder and Head Designer, Kazuyo Takeda was born and raised in Japan. She has worked as a designer for women's clothing brands in New York, Milan and Tokyo. She also has an academic background in science on which she relies for her creations.
