HISTOIRE DE BULLES, the appeal of our senses
In the same way that we prepare for an evening of pure relaxation, Savonnerie Histoire de Bulles is built on simplicity and freshness, in every sense of the word. Comfortably wrapped up in a core of dynamic people who care about the quality of its products, this company which was born in St-Georges de Beauce could only evolve and bloom into the open like the most beautiful flowers do when surrounded by love and care. And that's exactly what happened.
A touch of know-how…
It was in 1999 that Kim Rioux specialized in soap making. With the valuable help of her partner Éric Savard, each one of them put their respective talents to good use. From there, Histoire de Bulles was born. One team, one family!
The marketing of the product began in 2001, when Kim and Éric used their family kitchen to develop and manufacture their products which gradually found their way into certain points of sale and in certain craft exhibitions. Success is there. How else can we do it when the public is offered a range of products of this quality?
In 2005, always with the desire to evolve and learn, Kim followed training in herbalism, with the aim of broadening her knowledge and sharing it with her clients.
Knowing how to wrap yourself...
Kim Rioux knows how to surround herself with competent people who only have the good of the company and its customers at heart. It’s like wrapping yourself in various essences, each having its own properties. The growing Histoire de Bulles team is exactly that. A beautiful bouquet of flavors!
In 2008 Éric quit his job as an industrial mechanic and jumped into the business!
2004 to 2013 His mother, Suzanne, is an integral part of the company.
The Histoire de Bulles family is also Gérard Savard, Eric's dad, who offers his invaluable help without counting, for renovations, moves as well as for the creation of equipment in the store and workshop. Eric has something to remember!
As of December 2020, the team now has 22 wonderful people who care about the success of the company.
Each person who is part of the team is above all a human being with whom Kim and Éric enjoy working. Each person has an important place in the company where strength and commitment become one! The team is the strength of the company!
Only beauty, only good... The store
In 2004, success is still present. It is now time for Histoire De Bulles to leave the family nest and become established on the street. What is magical about this transition is that the way of operating, both in the store and in the manufacturing workshop, which will continue to expand over the years, has always remained the same: an handmade product of high quality, now offered in a commercial space that immediately makes a splash. By setting foot in the Histoire de Bulles store, you treat yourself to a product carefully made from top quality plant-based ingredients. The products are fully formulated and designed by a wonderful team. Whether it's the exhilarating scents, the honey from their hives, the fresh goat's milk from local farms, the oils and butters, each ingredient is chosen according to the highest quality standards.
The store also offers a very large selection of utility products. The art of living is at the center of this concept which has continued since 2004. Several Quebec companies have their place in the store such as: Le barbu des bois, pot of happiness, Geneviève Bilodeau Joaillière, Kliin, Ola Bamboo, Le Savonnier en bulk, Pure, Planette, Douce Mousse, Omaïki, Ketto, Caracol, Kassiopeia and moreover!
The workshop
The company continues to grow, several expansions to the factory are necessary to meet demand. The small workshop which had 1500 square feet is now 8000 square feet, one section is reserved for the manufacture of care products such as soaps, another part for the making of bath products, another corner solely for production of candles. A team is also located in part of the factory to pack, label and prepare orders from points of sale and orders from the online store! A full-time graphic designer occupies an office where all visuals and labels are created and printed on site! A small, fully autonomous hive!
Like a nice hot bath…
Histoire de Bulles continues to grow, evolve and reinvent itself, with the same concern for quality as at the very beginning. All this thanks to a team, a family, concerned about your well-being. Histoire de Bulles is like a long hot bath at the end of the evening, a relaxing massage, a comfortable blanket.
Histoire de Bulles: because we like to take care of you!
