Who are The English Soap Company? And how did we get started? Producers of pretty, sweet smelling soaps, The English Soap Company was founded more than a decade ago by co-founders Bob and Juliet. The pair discovered a large number of vintage soup moulds in a disused machinery workshop in Kent. Inspired by the vintage and classic designs that had seemed to be forgotten, they created a brand to revive the wonderful designs from the past and spent lots of time perfecting the fragrance of each individual scent .
