Who's behind the guide

Hi, I'm Kathy

I've been making handmade soap at Coconut Luxe Naturals since 2010. I sell at markets and festivals, supply wholesale and private-label soap to more than 40 Australian businesses, and teach soap making workshops.

This guide is everything I wish I'd known before my first Christmas market. You don't need the perfect stall or hundreds of products. You need good soap, clear prices, enough stock and a display that makes people stop.
