Here we go with the new soaps, y'all! First off, y Here we go with the new soaps, y'all! First off, you can find these restocks here (https://www.haldecraft.com/collections/recently-stocked/soap). Now; there are a couple of changes. (1) the price has gone down on these smaller bars. (2) because of the price change, the Ten-for-$56 listing has temporarily been taken offline until all the soaps are represented in the new size and price - when that listing returns, it will be at a new price that represents the new bars. Thanks, y'all!

Irish Coffee (https://www.haldecraft.com/products/ Irish Coffee (https://www.haldecraft.com/products/irish-coffee). Browns are among your favorite colors, but not just any flat brown will do. You like that tonal, multi-shade that you see right when the creamer hits your coffee, before you stir it in and little light tendrils are making their way through the dark coffee. That is this color; lights, darks, together, beautifully.
