Featured Original Handmade Artisans
Just sharing a delightful recent interview we taped with Toby and Rosie Skincare and Cosmetics - a funky duo of Sydney based handmade entrepreneurs who are making their own skincare and cosmetics line. It was a real pleasure to get the low down on being a stallholder within this niche.
Toby, proudly calling himself a hippie at heart, initially made a body butter and as is often the case – it was soon sought out by family and friends and before long he was making larger batch sizes to meet demand. Combining this with a love of natural, authentic ingredients and Toby and Rosie was born – not before meeting Rosie in her native Guatemala and launching back in Sydney.
Toby manages everything about the brand – from product research to marketing to their online shopping website – he is a firm believer in minimizing external costs and having complete creative control over the brand.
Trying to find a space for Toby and Rosie in the ultra competitive niche of skincare and cosmetics is also an ongoing challenge, competing with brands that are established with mega dollar marketing budgets. Toby has researched pop up shops, wholesaling and selling online, but at the moment it is connecting with customers face to face that works best.
