About Gallant & Jones
Gallant and Jones products are lovingly handcrafted using the finest materials available.
Gallant and Jones was formed in August 2009 after Tamra (Gallant) visited the UK with her family and fell in love with the numerous Deck Chairs that she saw in parks and on beaches, she wondered why these chairs were not readily available in North America. On her return to Vancouver BC, she proposed making the chairs as a business idea to her Welsh friend Gwyneth (Jones). They decided to make the chairs by hand, utilising Tamra's woodworking know how and Gwyn's textiles and design skills.
The two girls decided very early on that if they were to bring a new product line to the marketplace that they should do it with the best of intentions and build a company that they and their families could be proud of.

How Gallant and Jones has evolved
Tamra and Gwyneth handmade each and every deck chair, stool and tray that left their workshop. After 2.5 years of really really hard work and plenty of splinters, they found a local manufacturer who held the same ideals of high quality, fine craftsmanship and eco-responsibility. They now have more time to expand the business and add more exciting products to the Gallant & Jones brand. If you would like to be informed of when new products are available, join the mailing list (at the very bottom of each web page) and follow the Gallant and Jones blog.
With every deck chair purchased a tree is donated and planted through the Love Trees Program. We care about the world we live in.
"Love Trees provides trees and environmental education to school children in Africa, North America and Haiti so kids can have a Love Tree of their own to plant. When they plant their tree, they get to make a wish for the planet. They're also learning that they have the power to help make the world a better place."
