We hope to see you at one or more of the shows, if you have any questions, feel free to give us a call or email and leave your number if you want us to call you back. 

Besides all these great shows, we opened a small clearance shop in the factory. All the soaps designs we play with and eventually don't add to the line, some soaps that have small imperfections in packaging, color or shape- all those are offered with crazy discounted price! Most of them just need to be repackaged and there you have it- a perfect little gift! 

If you want to stock up on Christmas gifts and stocking stuffers and save some $$ while you do it, just give us a call and let us know you are coming to our shop. (512)7193302 

Stay tuned as we will keep adding more events to our show calender. We will keep you updated through our Facebook page and Newsletter.

We decided to upgrade our Fancy mustache soap box, so we made a beautiful custom stamp with a bigger mustache and a bit more info. The content of the fancy box stays the same. 

Here is the new box, the official photos are to follow :)

Fancy mustache soap set includes three mustache soaps, each in a different color and scent.

+ Grey mustache:  Agadir nights scent- a blend of myrrh and orange with middle notes of ginger, cinnamon and cloves. It is then rounded out with caraway seed and vanilla to give it a warm, tranquil feeling. Spices and romance!

+ Black mustache: Old fashioned vanilla bean - The scent is This is a warm, creamy vanilla swirled with rich white chocolate and raw sugar cane.

+ Brown mustache: Smoked firewood - The scent is a blend of wood, raspberry and vanilla. It is a smokey sensual scent that man and woman love.

This is such a fun gift, people love taking pictures with the mustache and share with friends. 

And the most fun thing about this set is, that when people first see smell the soap, they don't realize that they are wearing it :) that's when you need to snap a shot of them with a fancy fragrant 'stache!

We had fun being out and about for the first time at first thursday Austin. This fun event is a celebration of craft and art, live music and great food. Only once a month- every first thursday of every month, just hop on over to south Congress ave, and walk between the booths and restaurants, listen to music and grab a drink! 

We started setting up at 4 pm, it was still a little hot but a cold drink and a shaded tent kept us cool :) 

We met a lot of nice people, everyone loved our soaps,  it was a lot of fun! 

First thursday usually ends after 9pm..

Here are some pics taken with instagram (Follow us!)

So, i think we will be at first thursday every month from now on.. Check out our event schedule for more details.
