The Katutura Soap project provides handmade olive oil guest soaps to the likes of Wilderness Safaris and Gondwana collection. Still, not many people know this very special project, let alone where to find it. When we make our way to their small workshop in a welcoming red-brick complex in Assuit St, the ladies behind the project are immediately excited and pose for a picture with their unique wares. The small kitchen is brimming with activity, soap bubbling on the stove, soap bars being wrapped and labelled, the seamstress and the bead artist operating from the same premises come by for a chat. All is made by hand here with only the finest ingredients! The olive oil is provided by Ruhleben farm from Swakopmund and the sea salt has its origin at the Namibian coast, too. So far, there are not many outlets for the soaps, which come in different shapes and sizes from regular bars to flowers, but that might be changing with the Katutura Soap Project improving on the marketing front and trying out new recipes for their products. Wanna become a stockist or order custom-made soaps for your lodge or business? The ladies will surely be delighted to assist.
