ESTUARY is taking shape in the atelier.
A ritual for the hands — poured slowly, in small batches, in Cleveland. Everything else stays in the atelier. When it’s ready, the list will know first.
Thirty-six dollars a bar is our house standard — the few exceptions have their own stories.
OUR STORY
LUXURY PLANT-BASED SKIN CARE AND SOAPS
This house began with an unlikely love story. Andy Andino is from Puerto Rico and lives in Cleveland, Ohio. Wandering the streets of Istanbul, he fell in love with the city — its hamams, its rituals, its unhurried way of caring for the body — and wanted to bring that Turkish moment home to Cleveland.
SEÇKIN ATELIER is that moment, made by hand. It began with the bar — hand-poured in small batches at the atelier — and grew the way a ritual grows: oils, balms, and clays for the face and body joined the soap, until the shelf held a complete routine for the skin. Every bar is still made at the same bench. One exception, named plainly: the antiperspirant pair — KALKAN and PERDE — is made for the atelier, never at the bench; the law asks more of it than a bench can give, and the house would rather say so than pretend. What begins as soap and skin care becomes a ritual — and the ritual is the point.
From Cleveland to the world — one ritual at a time.
SEÇKIN [sech-KEEN] means "distinguished" in Turkish. The ç is there because excellence is in the details.
At Seçkin Atelier, we don’t just sell soap and skin care; we offer the moments that follow their use.
SEÇKIN is for the 10 minutes you take back.
Everything here is free of any animal products, down to the wax on the cord. No shortcuts, no exceptions. What leaves this atelier had to earn its place in a black box, under the house seal.
