et toi
میری کہانی
meet aisha aki
although this is a happily oakland based company, i grew up many miles away from my now home (8,060 miles to be exact!). Born and raised in karachi, pakistan to a japanese father and a pakistani mother, life was a mishmash of cultures and experiences. although i visited my father’s native osaka, i felt like it wasn’t enough of an assimilation to a vastly different pace of life. After studying in the UK, it was time for me to experience japan firsthand. after a few years there, life took me to the bay and my nomadic lifestyle came to a lovely halt.
My experiences thus far have made it possible for me to feel our commonality and shared cultures strongly. i realized that meaningful consumption through feeling attached to a place or people’s stories made me appreciate what i was using. i wanted to make products that were beyond just a bar of soap or bath salts. in a dauntingly fast consumption focused world, i wanted to focus on slow and intentional.
i look forward to continue making products that you love and cherish.
something for me and for you.

what does et toi mean?
Fun fact: My Japanese name was very nearly Toi which translates to Ten / One, my birthday.
Et Toi meaning "and you" in French, which feels like the right word to describe how my soap journey is now ours.
new products coming soon
