People ask us all the time where we’re located, and the honest answer is that we’re still running this little business out of our home studio! But we do sometimes participate in markets and we stock our products in various brick-and-mortar stores. So if you’d like to shop our products in-person, you’re in the right place! Here are the good folks who are hosting our products in the foreseeable future.
If you’re located in Ottawa and you’d like an in-person shopping experience on your own schedule, we recommend checking out the Milk Shop in the Byward Market or Rideau Rollers in Centretown.
Milk Shop in the Byward Market
As of August of 2023, we’re proud to announce that you can get our full Pride Flag and seasonal lines of soaps at the Milk Shop in the Byward Market! Located at 45 William Street in downtown Ottawa, you can’t get any more central than that! Check out this wonderfully queer-friendly and supportive space that has all sorts of goodies from small handmade business owners like us, and shop small and local all at once!
Rideau Rollers in Centretown
As of December 2023, you can find a wide range of our soaps at the Rideau Rollers shop at 787 1/2 Somerset West in Ottawa! This lovely, queer-owned business is a great hub for those looking for rollerskating gear and they now have a section where they feature small, locally-owned businesses like Tubby Tabby Soaps! Because let’s face it; we never met a derby pal who didn’t need a good wash after a match!
