About Me

Holder Handmade is more than just an online boutique filled with exquisite handcrafted soap, bath accessories, sugar scrubs, bath salts, and more. It’s the realization of a lifelong passion to connect with others through crafting and creativity.

Within this shop, you’ll find a selection of premium artisan soaps, bath salts, sugar scrubs, bath bombs, bath accessories, and more. Each piece is created with love and care, with the belief that taking care of your body helps you to take care of your mind. When I create a new soap or scrub in my home studio, I am helping you find the perfect gift, treating you to something special for yourself just because, and encouraging smiles.

My name is Katie, and I’ve been creating art for over twenty years. Though I've spent quite a bit of that time focusing on jewelry - which you can shop for in my sister shop Katie Holder Artisan Jewelry - recent life events have caused me to pivot my focus. I developed an eye condition which prevents my right eye from focusing, so I branched out and learned some additional crafts because I just can't live without creating! I found a new passion in soap making and have been exploring soap as an art form - hello, Holder Handmade!

No matter what you are looking for, I promise to offer you a wonderful shopping experience. Don’t hesitate to reach out to me with questions or requests - it is truly my pleasure!
