A Making Moment with Cutch Company

Hello everyone!

LLCS are back again with another inspirational story from two of our lovely customers, Fiona Crownshaw and Sarah Dickinson. When listening to Fiona and Sarah, we personally found that everyone can relate to their brand and understand the emotions behind it. Fiona and Sarah founded Cutch Company in June 2020 during the pandemic where person to person contact had not been allowed for three months; families, friends and lovers were separated and the simple, heartening act of a consoling hug to make everything alright disappeared overnight.

They decided to name their business ‘Cutch’ which comes from the Welsh word ‘Cwtch’ pronounced ‘Clutch’. Sarah is part Welsh and ‘Cwtch’ means a special kind of hug in Wales. As we were not allowed to see our loved ones or friends and family or even give them a physical hug, they decided to offer a ‘hug’ or a Cutch.

Cutch Company love home fragrance and wanted to offer people the ability to send an embrace or a ‘Cutch’ during these difficult times. Scents are so emotive and take us places where we want to be and especially during the lockdown where I think we can all say, we wish we were elsewhere at times.

“The LLCS wax melter has been an amazing addition to our workshop”

Cutch Company pride themselves as an eco-friendly, luxury, sustainable, and recyclable company across the board, which is why they want to work with ethical suppliers too. Cutch Company work on the feelings and emotions that they want the candle to give and think about what each scent means to us, what emotions are evoked, and which scents matches the mood and sentiment. To produce all their beautifully scented candles, Cutch Company use our wax melting machines.

“This has been an amazing addition to our workshop”. Cutch Company like to use quality ingredients and reliable equipment and they cannot express enough how much our melters have helped them as their business continues to grow.

Cutch Company’s perfect customers are individuals who love home fragrance, as they offer an up-market product that has been specially designed with hand blended fragrances and unique stand out packaging. Fiona and Sarah conveyed that their best sellers throughout the past year have been, the Christmas Cutch, The Self Embrace due to people working from home. Valentine’s Day meant the Lovers Embrace was popular and A Loving Cutch was the choice for Mother’s Day gifts.

Their advice to all the newbies starting out, is to focus on a few products to start with and do plenty of testing to ensure that you get it right and you are happy with the end product. Friends and family can give you honest feedback to help you tweak your product and make sure it is 100% right before you start selling.

It was lovely to speak to you Fiona and Sarah, well done for creating such a thoughtful and successful brand like you have!
