Soap Saver Pouch
Love love, love these🥰 they are not too rough on the skin and hold a rather large bar of soap. Will definitely be adding this to my shop.

Sustainable Practices
The Beginning
In August of 2011,
Howells Custom Cabinets in Milwaukie, OR shut down due to an urgent family tragedy.
Finding himself out of a job with the family business shut down, Chris Howells (son of owner, Dave Howells) decided to put his wood working and innovation skills to use. He began making items out of wood, such as children's toy building blocks, coasters, wood puzzles, and soap dishes. Chris sold them wherever he went, including farmers markets and Christmas bazaars.
Innovation in Business
Slowly but surely,
Soap dishes grew in popularity and became the most requested item, which led to phasing out other products in 2013.
Using equipment from the old family cabinet shop, Chris maintained relationship with the same lumber suppliers that his family had worked with for decades. Business continued to flourish, despite disbelief over the popularity of soap dishes from friends. Over the next 10 years, Howells Products grew to become the largest wood soap dish manufacturer in the U.S.
The keys to H/P success has always been superior customer service, innovative designs, and lightning fast shipping.
New Beginnings
Growing the Family Business
20 years prior to his new found success, Chris and his highschool buddy, Jon, had dreamed of taking over the family cabinet shop one day.
Fast-forward to 2022, Chris brings Jon, now brother-in-law, into the business to handle sales and help with production.
Both families eventually moved to beautiful Central Oregon where they are raising their families and loving the new small town small family business lifestyle.
