About Us

~ Goods For Salt & Soul ~

As we conjure up fond childhood memories of capturing dinner in a crab trap... collecting sand dollars and other odd artifacts... inhaling the pungent, salt-tinged air as we squished around in that blissful, salty muck. Pluff Mud is more than a squishy salty mud for us. It's a love of the Lowcountry, a lifestyle, and an inspiration for all the creations we make. Hence, Pluff Mud Mercantile was born with a playful creative spirit. Our southern products are designed to soothe the soul. From hand poured candles to handcrafted soaps & apothecary, to our Ch'yallston Lifestyle Brand of decor, apparel & accessories, love and care is in everything we do. In addition, we are Leaping Bunny Certified and are mindful of our ingredients and processes to deliver a quality product. Pluff Mud reminds us of playful muddy moments in the marsh and living life in a joyful way and our products are designed to do the same. Join us in spreading love with goods for salt & soul.
