Handmade hand soaps epitomize designer Fernanda Bourlot's devotion to the pure and simple. Created for her label, Simplemente Blanco, scented soap sticks, petals, flowers, couples, houses, and trains fill the boxes that Bourlot assembles randomly in her South End studio. Choose from her assortments in four sizes ($10 to $46 at On the Side, the shop Bourlot co-owns), or order a customized collection. Who knew lathering up could be so lovely?
