We run a busy little workshop in the Inchbrook Mills complex just outside Nailsworth, where we are always ready to welcome to customers, visitors or passers-by. It's great to be able show our local community a bit more about what we do.
The Soapery Dresser is kept stocked with all our soaps and plastic-free goodies including:
- Our popular all All Kinds Soap Offcuts Selection - imperfectly perfect soaps either in kraft bags or available loose - please bring a reusable container and we will fill it for you.
- A small selection of reusable products, such as crochet washcloths, facial rounds and soap savers made by the Soap Folk and their families, all proceeds going to charity.
- Bundles of paper off-cuts from our colourful wraps, which can be repurposed for cards and crafts - these are reserved for school and craft groups and are free of charge.
We are open from 9 to 3 during the week and from 10 - 1 on occasional Saturdays (check ahead).
We are based at Inchbrook Mills, next door to the Clay Loft. Access is from the rear of the building. Parking can be limited, so it’s best to use off road parking during the week.
There is a bus stop just outside Inchbrook Mills which links Stroud to Nailsworth (number 63)
We are also accessible from the Stroud to Nailsworth Cycle Track, just stop off at the Newman Hender Bridge.
We make all our products under one roof so we know exactly how they are made and who is making them. Working together makes us more creative and learn different skills from each other. It also means that all our team are paid fairly for the work they do and treated with respect.
We use high-quality, all-natural ingredients from approved and trusted suppliers. We believe this creates a higher quality product with the lowest environmental impact.
All our packaging is designed to maximise the amount of material that can be reused or recycled. All our product wraps are from traceable FSC stock and printed with vegetable inks.
The entire making process is designed to have the low environmental impact possible, so we monitor our use of energy and water, whilst trying to keep our waste to a minimum.
We use a supplier policy to make sure the people we work with meet our standards of quality, delivery, ethics, sustainability, and compliance. Where possible, we like our suppliers to be local and independently owned.
Our biggest initiative is our All Kinds campaign where we donate bags of our off-cut soaps to food banks and community interest groups across the UK.
