Twelve things we'd buy again

Our story

We got tired of buying things twice.

ChongStore started as a shared notebook between three friends who kept replacing the same cheap kettle, the same tote bag, the same desk lamp. Eventually the notebook became a shop. We still only list what's earned a second purchase from one of us — nothing goes up because a brand paid for it to.

That's the whole method. Slow, a little stubborn, and the reason our return rate sits under 2%.
