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 or stock our products in 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 Ottawa Artisans store at Bayshore, Place D’Orleans or St Laurent (inside the malls). In Southern Ontario, you can check out the section below for the details on our stockist in Grimsby! And finally, those in the GTA can find us in Etobicoke for in-person shopping!
Ottawa Artisans store at Bayshore Shopping Centre
We’ve been at the Ottawa Artisans store at the Bayshore Shopping Centre since 2021! The store is located on the third floor, between Walmart and the food court. To find our products in the store, walk past the cash and look left, where you’ll find our products on the wall just next to the cash.
Ottawa Artisans store at Place D’Orleans Shopping Centre
Our products have been available since February 2022 at the Ottawa Artisans store at the Place d’Orleans Shopping Centre! To find our products in the store, simply walk into the store and look to your left. You’ll find our items on the left wall near the door, at about waist height.
Ottawa Artisans store at St. Laurent Shopping Centre
We set up shop at the St. Laurent location of Ottawa Artisans in March 2022! The store is located just near the cinema entrance, so if you come in those doors and walk straight past the cinema escalator, you’ll see the store on your right. To find our products in the store, walk to the very back of the store, where the scented items are. We’re located on the wall right beside the back hallway, and you can find a wide selection of our offerings there!

Since February 1st of 2023, we’ve stocked our products in the brick-and-mortar Forrest & Harbour shop, newly located at 18 Main Street West in Grimsby, ON!

Pick up soaps, shampoo bars or even lip balms next time you’re in the area and skip the shipping fee!

This brand new boutique opened up in Etobicoke on March 4, 2023! Located at 651 The Queensway, this great boutique features small-scale, Canadian makers just like us! You can find our bar soap, shampoo and lotion bars stocked in their bath & body section.
