/ When dreaming meets doing. Strider Northwoods Mercantile is the love story of a girl from 'Up North' Wisconsin who dared to go for it.
/ Our handcrafted goods are inspired by an upbringing of endless forest and lakeside adventures from Wisconsin's Northwoods to the shores of Lake Superior, paired with a deeply-rooted passion for creating of all kinds. Core products include all-natural small bat
ch soy candles, eco-luxe fragrance collections, and artisan home wares.
/ While our business continues to evolve and grow, the earthy and eclectic essence of our brand is evergreen and grounded in the philosophy of intentionally curating clean and cozy vibes to enhance your space and self. Strider is mindfully-made to evoke your inner earth child, stargazer, tree hugger, and free spirit – embracing the marvel that 'Up North' is a state of mind. Most importantly, our products always have been and always will be sustainability-focused, vegan-forward, cruelty-free, and without phthalates, parabens, or dyes.
/ You can find Strider Northwoods Mercantile on Etsy, as well as on the shelves of -owned shops across Wisconsin. We offer custom and private label collabs and never tire of getting asked, "Would you ever be open to [insert bold idea]?"
/ I am awestruck and emboldened by the journey that has unfolded since seizing the opportunity to see where the soul's road less traveled may lead. Fortunate for family and friends bestowing their good will and good vibes to my young hustle (most notably, my endlessly supportive husband who is wildly talented in his own right – peep a listing or two of his craftsmanship in the shop), I bid this cohort a shot of the house's finest tequila for their presence. By reading this, you're one of the aforementioned and I thank you. Here’s to dreaming big and shopping small!
/ Peace + Cheers
Sam, StriderNM
