Hello! I was first introduced to handmade. la conner in Molbaks Garden Center in Woodinville. I figured it was made locally but for the longest time I didn’t realize that you had an actual store and where La Conner actually was…you can blame it on the fact that I was not a PNW native and still discovering our locations. To this day I have not made it to La Conner yet, but it is on my bucket list of local places to visit. Anyway, I absolutely loved your products especially the sweet orange scent. I purchased some of your products for home staging (and then kept them for myself) to elevate spaces like bathrooms, laundry rooms and the kitchen sink.
Last year, I decided I would take a more positive step to be more environmentally conscious and try and order cleaning products in bulk more, storing them in glass containers. I also started to shop local as much as I could. Now I purchase your soap refill, dish soap refill, laundry detergent, dryer liquid and dishwasher tablets and occasionally as a treat, your shower gels. I love that I am shopping locally and the customer service has always been excellent. The products smell divine… The dryer liquid is really novel and I love that I can pour some onto a dish cloth, stick it in the dryer and boom, it disseminates a gorgeous scent to my clothing.

I am SO glad you asked what I would love for you to make!! A toilet cleaner would be amazing – something eco friendly that also works on effectively neutralizing virus’ and bacteria. I would also love more scents…! Something with Neroli, Jasmine and similar flowery, sweet smelling scents.

Keep on trucking! I personally sense a shift in the way consumers want to shop. More individuals are shifting to an environmentally conscious shopping process and the pandemic I think really kicked off a change in people’s mindsets around shopping local. More and more of us are trying to consciously take care of our planet, support local artisans who have talent and create unique, meaningful, original products. So please keep going and never be disheartened! Thank you for everything you do and for the love you put into your products, it shows!

Congratulations!!!!!!!

I found Handmade when I went on a search for natural, clean and chemical free shampoo and conditioner. I tried so many different bands and Handmade was the only on my scalp enjoys. To my surprise I found a whole baskets of other amazing products along the way. Now my entire personal hygiene kit consists of Handmade Products. From head to toe. Lotion, body scrubs, lib balm, hand soap and on and on! Even my Cat and Dog, Little Shit and Kronk use Handmade products!

My personal favorites are the beard products, especially the scented bead oil and the leave in beard conditioner!

That reminds me.. I need to place an order for some more soon! :)

Cheers to 10 years and I look forward to seeing where you grow to in the next 10 years!

- Nick, Ashley, Little Shit and Kronk!

Greetings! I discovered Handmade La Conner during at stay at the Boonville Hotel on a west coast road trip about 6 years ago. The bathroom was stocked with the Gardener’s Scrub and it’s been a staple in my home bathing routine ever since! I since have incorporated the laundry detergent, various candles, linen spray and body lotion into my home. The Cedar and Bergamot scents are my favorites, but I have never encountered a product I don’t LOVE. Cheers to ten more years!

Congratulations on 10 years in business in one of the most wonderful towns to visit.
I am excited to make it up there this Spring, however, cannot make it for the actual anniversary celebration weekend. I am anxious to try your lemon hand soap; love citrus scent in the kitchen! I am also looking for a new handmade wreath for my new wood front door.
Hope to see you soon. Have a wonderful anniversary celebration!

Congratulations! I bought a bottle of lemon hand soap as a splurge several years ago from City People’s and I was hooked! It’s such a joy going into your shop in La Conner, but love finding other businesses that carry your products too! Best wishes for your continued success. Truly wonderful products.
