When a cakebox landed on my desk one day, I was very puzzled. Who’d send me a whole loaf of cake for no reason? Especially when I’m not into cakes 😛
The mystery was solved when I opened it and saw inside a row of handmade soap bars prettily presented. Already the presentation had me! The soaps were from WeiBoon of 1819 Couture Soaps.
I’d never heard of 1819 Couture Soaps but WeiBoon tells me that he’s been doing this for a while, selling them from InQBox at 1 Utama Shopping Centre until May 2009. He’s now taking orders by email and I was surprised at just how affordable and pretty his handmade soaps are.
1819 Couture Soaps are handmade soaps using quality oils blended with essential oils and herbs and made using the cold pressed method. The soaps smell lovely without that sharp chemical smell and do not contain animal fat, sodium laureth sulfate and preservatives. Above all, I think they are presented very well and make great gifts!
