We're No Stinkin' Outlaws — about Outlaw Soaps

The other day, in a small business owners' group I'm part of, someone asked what they can post without sounding insensitive or tone-deaf. I responded that we have to be human beings during this time. We are all experiencing the same concerns, hardships, and changes in our ways of life....

This morning, we received an email from one of our suppliers informing us that they're shutting down until April 1 at the earliest. Thankfully, it's not a major supplier and we do have a backup plan, but this prompted me to write our actual major supplier to place a just-in-case...

As part of our lifetime commitment to having and appreciating the MOST AWESOME CUSTOMERS EVER, we want to feature you in this here journal (which is also often included in our social medias and newsletter, just so you know where this could go). Can you tell us a little about...

For those of you who have been with us over the past year, you have gotten to know us better as people and as a company, mostly thanks to this here blog. If you're not sure who the Voice of Outlaw has been, in general, it's me, Danielle, the co-founder...

"I know you guys are a big company, but the handwritten note really was nice." - Instagram Message "Can I speak to the person in charge of your marketing?" - Common Email Intro Even though we've been around since 2013, we're still a really tiny little company. We've got 16...

As you may know by now, we are relocating Outlaw from the mountain town of Grass Valley, California to the valley town of Sparks, Nevada. Our new workshop is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING and has many open walls that we are looking forward to decorating. This may seem like a hokey idea,...

I was kicking so much butt at doing 90 blog posts in 90 days, but then I got to Denver, got a flu, got done with the trade show, got home, and got busy... with other stuff. It's no secret that small business is a big job -- we're in...

I talk a big game over here in the blog, but you know who makes this whole machine go? It's my husband and business partner (and best friend), Russell Vincent. In 2018, we sold 11,600ish bars of handmade soap. In 2019, we sold more than 43,000 bars, most of which...

We sometimes get questions about whether Outlaw is for men or women, and, call us modern, but we believe that anyone can smell like campfire at dusk, like warm leather, and like a fine bourbon. Outlaw's made for everyone, plain and simple. Sure, we have some more traditional scents like...

On Friday, we did the final walk-through of our new facility and got our BRAND NEW SHINY BRASS KEYS. I think any sane person would have a moment (or 100) of "What are we doing?" when committing to a 5 year lease in a new town with a skeleton crew...

My friend called me out of the blue this afternoon, just to wish me a happy new year. 2019 (and 2018) had been rough (fuck cancer*) for him, and we were talking about how I felt like he had dealt with his cancer with such incredible grace. "You really showed...
