What our experts say...
I love this product as it is something that I don’t see often in stores. I think it is a genius idea. I appreciate Fiona and David’s acknowledgement of the land they work and reside on. I really resonate with the brand’s commitment to keep everything as local as possible.
– Lille Madden
I like it’s simplicity and reuse of materials and the fact that it also prolongs the life of a bar of soap. I like how this product is manufactured using local sustainably-sourced wood.
– Laura Trotta
I like that the wood has a nice finish. I also appreciate there is no plastic in the product and it wasn’t wrapped in any either.
– Lindsay Miles
No more soggy soap and dirty soap dishes in this house! This gorgeously minimalist product makes my soap last so much longer and has taken away all the mess. Really easy for kids to use too. Love it!
