The Story Behind Loft & Lather
Loft & Lather is where craftsmanship meets intention—where elevated design and natural living come together in a way that feels both refined and deeply grounded.
This shop began years ago as Desert Soapstone, where I handcrafted soaps and shipped them to customers around the world. As international shipping became more complex, the brand evolved into Oakleaf & Ocotillo, a space where I began sharing my process more openly and growing a community through my YouTube channel.
Now, Loft & Lather represents the full vision I’ve carried for years—an intersection of artisan soap making and thoughtfully restored furniture. Think Restoration Hardware meets Lush, with an emphasis on timeless style, clean ingredients, and a connection to nature.
Each bar of soap is crafted with carefully selected ingredients, designed to support a simple, elevated daily ritual. Each furniture piece is refinished with longevity in mind—created not just to be beautiful, but to be lived with.
This is a quiet return to quality—where each piece is made with care, purpose, and a story worth keeping.
