When I left my native country of Venezuela and moved to Dallas, Texas, I brought with me the memories I cherished of the world I left behind. These memoirs of sweet years of the past inspired me to continue an old family tradition of soap making. I never thought something that started as a Sunday afternoon practice with my sisters, in our mother’s kitchen, would turn into such a lush and exciting family business.

Upon my arrival to the United States I joined forces with my son David Foote, an artist and filmmaker based out of New York City. By mixing his ideas and my unique sensitivities, Jabonería Marianella was born.

My mission is to create a soap that lingers in your skin and in your thoughts; that stirs your own memories and that you cannot do without. Our soap is One of a Kind and its uniqueness lies in the fact that it is handcrafted. We take pride in our collections because they are as beautiful and timeless as the ideas behind them.
Marianella Febres - Cordero, President.
