Our company – Pacabella™ – all started just three years ago. I was munching on a juicy strawberry during a strawberry festival, my daughter Isabella, and husband John by my side when out of the corner of my eye, I met a couple of handsome fellas who would change my life forever!

The Rest of the Story….

Fuzzy, six feet tall…one chocolate brown, one white as snow…sweet innocent eyes that beckoned me across the field to both of them. My heart lost to these two alpaca boys, my husband who is also an animal lover, decided to help me appreciate them rather than fight my new-found love. After lots of research, we owned six of them!

My dream was to make products with their fiber, so I took some wet-felting classes … an ancient art reviving in modern time. Wet-felting is applying hot soapy water to the alpaca fiber which makes it felt together. After discovering the functional art of felting soap, a business took shape!

Our business is named after our love for the alpacas and our daughter, Isabella – Pacabella. On our logo, the little “robin” on the alpaca’s back is me – Robin Watson. I can’t wrap up a cuddly six foot tall alpaca for your customers, but I can give them the next best thing…a wonderful, beneficial and organic product that just might give them the same feelings as falling in love! We hand-wrap and felt each soap with the fiber from our very own alpacas.

Felted soaps are a natural exfoliating product. The soap I chose for my product is certified organic, safe and soft for any skin type. Our soap is handsomely displayed in a handmade wooden box constructed from 200 year old heart pine wood from an old cotton mill in South Carolina. Its rustic look adds to the natural look of our product.
