About Saturna Outdoor Research

Our products are inspired by our camping trip to Saturna Island in British Columbia, Canada where it was a truly magical, beautiful and unforgettable place. The color of the ocean, sky, rocks, drifted woods, birds we saw in summer, the deep smell of evergreen trees in October... we wanted to incorporate everything we saw and felt into our products. This trip also made us think how we can be better to our nature- use natural friendly products when we wash our dishes at the camping site, no plastic bags, less is more etc... yes, we are still learning and constantly looking for better ways to save this earth. When it comes to handmade items, we really take our time. We make one batch of soap at a time, silk-screen one shirt at a time, mill wood tray one at a time, and so on. Becanse we find beauty in imperfection. It's a trace of someone's hand which creates personal connection between a maker and a customer. We hope you enjoy what we made. Read their story
