Ancoats Soap Company

Well it’s been a journey…

We will be having two final markets on 2nd February and 2nd March in Ancoats. This started in Ancoats and it seems right to end it there.

What started as a belief in ‘made in Britain’ and a desire to return soap production back to Ancoats while using the finest natural, non-harmful ingredients led us to being stocked in a store in New York, featured in Vanity Fair, working with some fantastic businesses and markets and meeting some fantastic people along the way. While we have had success in some places we have struggled to gain traction in Manchester and there comes a time when you have to change direction and do what is right for yourself and the business and with a studio move this seems like the right time.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us along the way…every like, purchase and comment doesn’t go unnoticed.

You can continue to purchase soap and hand wash up until March so if you have a favourite scent then now is the time to stock up as they may not be returning.

We are not giving up though, our vision has just become bigger and we will continue to create handcrafted, botanical scents…they will just look slightly different… We’ll be sharing more info about this soon!

Thanks again for your support 🧼🌷
