About Fist & Fern

Fist & Fern emerged from my previous business Kusala, which I built and ran fulltime for almost 10 years. Old customers will recognize the artisan soaps, shampoo, and lavender eye pillows, even though they have a different look now. Why start again with similar products under a new brand?

Fist & Fern is an experiment to combine small entrepreneurship and artisan production with radical activism for social and environmental justice. As some customers might still know, one of the soaps in the Kusala range was the climate soap. For each climate soap sold, I donated €1,50 to Extinction Rebellion. With Fist & Fern, I want to provide similar but more structural support for grassroots movements fighting for a more sustainable and just world. I further explain this on the pages Why To Resist, How To Resist, and About Mutual Aid. And you can find the causes you support when you purchase something in this shop on the page Support the Resistance. 

At the same time, it means that I won't be doing large-scale production for wholesale anymore and that the products will only be available here in the webshop as direct sale.
