Saint Agnes Soaps & Apparel has officially launched bringing a thoughtful blend of handcrafted soaps, apparel, and specialty goods to the Quinte West community. Owner Christine Sherrington, who returned to Trenton in 2020, says the inspiration for opening her business comes from both her roots and her desire to contribute to the local economy. “Like all small towns, we don’t grow without each other,” says Christine. “When one business opens, it is out of a desire to build something that maybe wasn’t there previously but was needed, or perhaps to carry on what another business leaves behind. I am originally from southwestern Quebec and I see a lot in common between Quinte West and my hometown in Chateauguay Valley, and it feels wonderful to build something here.”
Saint Agnes specializes in handmade bar soaps crafted with natural ingredients, including Canadian seed oils like Canola, known for their moisturizing qualities. To complement the skincare line, Saint Agnes carries imported ladieswear from the UK, British teas, and treats from Buckingham Palace, as well as a personalized shopping service for women seeking fashion advice and assistance with online purchases.
Saint Agnes Soaps & Apparel is based in Trenton, Ontario, and the online store is always open at www.saintagnessoaps.com, while in-person visits are available by appointment and for order pickup. Christine can be reached at 613-305-1391 or by email at saintagnessoaps@gmail.com. Follow along for updates and new products on social media via Facebook and Instagram (@SaintAgnesSoaps).
