OUR PURPOSE
Our brand began with a desire to keep hand crafted skills alive in Australia and continues to be part of our mission everyday. To draw on the immense talent, the plethora of creative minds and skilled sets of hands that brim within this land, country to coast.
With roots as a Compounding Pharmacist & Poisons Specialist turned soapmaker, we are privileged to be extending a legacy of high quality craftsmanship with each bespoke creation that is sent out from our hearts to your homes.
Investing in Australian craftsmanship ensures the longevity of manufacturing to the next generation — building an economy of expertise and dependable quality in this country we are proud to call home.
It’s the reason we spend so long formulating and testing all our new products to do true justice to the craft, with no hidden nasties.
And it’s why we have developed relationships with an amazing group of likeminded, talented men and (mostly) women nationwide who are devoted to the same cause, delivering truly incredible handcrafted works of art - whether it’s a pair of freshwater pearl earrings pieced together by hand, the most beautiful individually letterpressed cards for all your heartfelt notes or organic linens to fill your home, we’re pulling it all together in one place to share the bounty this country has to offer within our local community.
We are so excited to share these bespoke and uniquely Australian made one-of-a-kind creations in our store with you, it’s going to be spectacular!
Meet the Founder
Hi, I'm Rachel!
Drawing from an extensive background in pharmaceuticals and formulation, I've brought together my passion for bespoke handcrafting and mindful formulation with key botanically derived active ingredients to deliver an artisan range of soaps and body care rooted in simplicity to ensure skin excellence. A gift from my family to yours.
Spending my days between Sydney and Bowral in the beautiful Southern Highlands of NSW, I carry a little piece of city and country with me wherever I go. When I'm not busy working clinically as a Poisons Specialist for the Childrens Hospital, there's nothing I love more than being able to throw on a pair of gumboots, rolling up my sleeves and getting creative.
