Famous Painting Soaps

Retailer NerdySoaps Renders Famed Art into Solid Carved Bath Products

— June 4, 2016 — Fashion
NerdySoaps is an Etsy shop seller that recreated famed artworks as colorful soap products using detailed carving. The blocks of soap are carved to display miniature versions of famous paintings by artists such as Salvador Dali, Vincent Van Gogh and Henri Matisse. Despite the small size of the soap, the painting carvings are incredibly true to form and feature accurate detail.

The bars are a sophisticated take on traditional soap bars by turning the bath products into works of art for consumers to suds themselves up with. The carvings are done entirely by hand and capture a dimensional rendition of the painting by adding depth, color and realistic elements of the artist's own iconic personal style.
Trend Themes
1. Art-inspired Bath Products - Art-inspired bath products could disrupt the beauty industry by appealing to consumers looking for unique and creative ways to elevate their self-care routines.
2. Hand-carved Soap Crafting - The rise of hand-carved soap crafting could present an opportunity for small artisans to enter the beauty and skincare industry with a differentiated product offering.
3. Niche Market Retailing on Etsy - The success of NerdySoaps selling on Etsy, a niche online marketplace, could pave the way for other creative and niche market retailers to showcase and sell their products to a worldwide audience.
Industry Implications
1. Beauty and Skincare - The beauty and skincare industry could benefit from the creativity and uniqueness of art-inspired soap products, which could help brands differentiate themselves in a crowded market.
2. Artisanal Crafts - Artisanal crafts and handmade goods could find a new avenue for product development and sales through the use of hand-carving techniques in creating unique bath products.
3. E-commerce - The popularity of retail platforms such as Etsy could drive growth in the e-commerce industry, as more consumers seek out unique and niche products online.
