The Square: Bendigo's Handmade Market

Sneak peek: shout out to the soap makers

Soaps make great gifts don't they? LIttle things to give when you don't know what to give, teacher presents, stocking suffers, kris kringles, etc. 

We have a great range for you to choose from at the market...

SOAP is a range of handmade soap products based nearby in Elphinstone and made from locally grown olive oil. Enhanced with pure essential oils, mineral clays, shea butter and goat's milk, this gorgeous handmade soap is wonderful for your skin. We haven't had this label with us before and they'll be trading on Sunday.

Bubble Lane soaps are uber-cute! Another new trader for us and we're stoked to her fun range of handmade soaps available on Sunday too. Check out the Bubble Lane online store to view the whole range of soaps shaped into werewolf teeth, lego men, space invaders, teapots and a whole lot more in a range of scents!

Also check out Soaps by Jules, a long time favourite of ours dating back to the very first Square market. Julie's soaps are natural, handmade and simply wonderful. (Sunday)

And Urthly Organics, another face you'll recognise from many markets with us. Beautiful natural soap and skincare products. (Saturday)
