Stories we've helped create, one custom order at a time.
How It Works
Custom orders are where the real magic happens. Someone comes to us with a vision, a celebration, or a moment they want to mark, and we figure out how to make it real in soap. That might mean blending a fragrance from scratch. It might mean a new color, a custom mold, a stamped logo. Every decision gets made together, in conversation. The details matter because they're what make it yours.
Weddings

The star of Megan's bouquet was white roses, so we kept that floral story going in the design for her soap. We found a rose mold that let us shape each soap into a perfect rose, white petals with a yellow center, so they'd catch light the same way fresh flowers do. These went to everyone staying at the hotel block for the wedding, a small gift that was purposeful and designed to be used, while still being special for the couple.

Kennedy wanted to surprise her sister with a little wedding gift modeled after her sisters dog for her wedding day. It took us a while to find a custom mold that captured the dog's specific energy, but once we found one that felt right, the design came together naturally. Everyone loved this unique and special gift at this micro-wedding in the Rockies.
Baby Showers

The shower invitation had a rocking horse and blue gingham, and Kaitlin wanted the soaps to match that exact energy. We made dozens of these mini soaps for the large event, designing the label to pull the fonts and patterns straight from the invitation, so the whole thing felt like one coordinated moment. They were also wrapped in individual organza bags, so each guest could easily take home their gift soap.
Retail Partners

Dear Gloria makes pottery, and one of her pieces is a plate with a beautiful two-tone quality, white and grey clay that creates this elegant contrast. We designed the soaps to look exactly like that specific plate, so they felt like a natural extension of her work. She added them to her websites "home" collection, where customers could see them as part of the whole Dear Gloria experience.

Sandrine's logo is her name wrapped in a vine of ivy, so the branding has this organic, and natural quality. We matched her green and tan brand colors, and added small ivy leaves pressed onto the soap tops, so the design felt like a three-dimensional version of the logo. These mini soaps were a gift with purchase that felt thoughtful and unique.

Somewhere in Time Gallery is on Mackinac Island, and the store sits right near the blooming hydrangeas and in the middle of lilac festival season. We started with lilac as the main soap (pictured), and have since created two more: Secret Garden, colors inspired by a beautiful painting that hangs in the shop, and Hydrangeas, inspired by the ones that bloom right near the store. We also made a lilac body butter to round out the collection. The soaps tell the story of the place, so customers aren't just buying a product, they're bringing home a piece of where they shopped.
Events & Corporate

Plant Corner is a retail plant store in New York, and for their third anniversary party, we made them fun little succulent soaps. The shapes echoed the actual plants they sell, so guests could hold something beautiful that felt connected to why they were there. It was the kind of party favor people can use, and with their fresh and green scent, they were a huge hit.

Craftsman Avenue is a workshop space where people come to learn complex skills like welding, leatherwork, stained glass, knife-making. We created custom soaps stamped with their logo, as thank-you gifts for the team and influencers who'd supported the space. The details mattered because the people in that community understand craft, understand what it takes to make something right.

Integral Analytics works with clients using hexagon grid maps to visualize data. We incorporated that hexagon design into the soap, using their exact brand colors, so the gift felt true to what they actually do. For a tradeshow, it stood out because it was a company gift that felt specific, not generic. It's the kind of detail that makes people remember you.

A Manhattan YMCA location gave these soaps to the team as Christmas gifts, soaps we modeled after the organization's brand colors. For staff doing real work every day, it was a moment of recognition, something that said thank you in a way that felt personal and intentional.
