One customer writes

I have to thank you so much for your wonderful Mango Tangerine Surfer Soap that is in our restroom here at O’Reilly! I’ve been watching the soap levels disappear… I think everyone, even strangers, enjoys it. It fills the whole bathroom with a wonderful fragrance and the soap’s scent lingers on the skin waaaaay afterward. Sometimes, I feel I can even taste it… gingery-spicy notes! When we first put it in the bathroom last week, it was the first distraction and thing to look forward to at work! It even feels different. It is so wonderful… I wasn’t expecting any soap to do that.

Sonoma County, CA (PRWEB) January 31, 2009 — Dolce Mia announces today their retail agreement with STUDIO at Fred Segal in Santa Monica, CA for the sale of their new line of natural, made-in-California soaps. Dolce Mia’s soaps feature natural ingredients, original fragrances and unique, vintage-inspired packaging. Under the terms of their retail agreement, Dolce Mia’s soaps were on the shelves as of mid-December, in time for the holiday sales rush.

The addition of Dolce Mia’s line amidst the holiday chaos speaks volumes for the sales potential of this stylish soap line. The STUDIO at Fred Segal buyer made the last-minute December order because he wanted to have the soaps on hand before Christmas. He said, “Your soap is my manager’s new favorite product. We love it!” He also thanked the Dolce Mia sales representative for having brought the product to his attention–a rare complement that is a testament both to the uniqueness of Dolce Mia’s line and the quality of the designs.

Available in both bar and pump, Dolce Mia’s soaps features vintage imagery, giclee-printed onto a canvas band in one of 14 vintage styles, in 3 thematic categories–Vintage Western , Vintage Pin-up and Vintage Hawaiian. The bar soap is a moisturizing all-natural glycerin soap. The liquid soap is castile soap, made from plant-derived oils including olive-oil. All soaps are completely biodegradable.

The line also features eight custom fragrances by Dolce Mia’s founder and designer Jenny Mountjoy. Pikake, Vintage Floral Tuberose, Tropical Citrus and Mango Tangerine are among the original fragrances.
