Feel proud to buy British!

Here at Pippins we are wanting to support British-made brands and UK manufacturing. We are passionate about British craftsmanship and My English Summer are a perfect example! 

Mother of four Caroline Leathwood began creating soaps, bath bombs and candles in her own kitchen in the evening. She has now turned her hobby into a growing business. Her company My English Summer now distribute to over 200 stockist throughout the UK and others in Eire, France, Spain and Portugal.

Their fragranced cupcakes bath bombs, soaps and other goodies are all hand crafted in the beautiful Pennine hills in Northern England. They believe that bath and body products should be as beautiful to look at as they are to use, and they take great pride in their finished, beautifully presented products. 

Above are 2 members of staff at work in the My English Summer unit. All of their products are mixed, moulded, wrapped and packaged by hand in West Yorkshire. 

PACKAGING

Many toiletries are machine filled and plastic wrapped without being touched by hand. While shrink wrap, polystyrene and plastic provide effective packaging, we believe that the way in which a product is packaged add to the enjoyment and experience of the product. Pretty or unusual packaging makes people want to pick pick products up, to touch, sniff and feel! My English Summer use organza, brown paper, ribbon and string, all with a vintage look we have all grown to love.

  

 

The little transparent soaps are wrapped in aged sheet music and tied with brown string, before being topped with a signature rose. Bath bombs, soap fancies, lip balms and eye gels are all presented in sweet little organza ribbon drawn bags. Bath milk powder is packed into little brown envelopes and body polish and cleansing butter jars are finished off with a tied ribbon and rose.
