We create product that may be ahead-of-the trend, uniquely designed and constantly evolving. We embrace the unexpected, set the trends and challenge ourselves to create décor and gifts that are memorable and one-of-a-kind. Like all great ideas, Kathy’s started with a challenge – looking for unique products for her paint studio and retail store in Lancaster, Pennsylvania that she owned with her Mother for over 10 years. She designed the first “primitive candle box” in 1997. Crafting the box by hand, taking care into each and every detail from the sanded edges to the kind of ribbon tied on the wire handles, each and every used to be a work of passion. Demand grew quickly for the growing line of handmade products, and Kathy enjoyed great success, it used to be then that she enlisted the assistance of the wonderful people at Goodwill Services and products to aid in fulfilling the increasing demand. It used to be at this moment that some of the valuable philanthropic partnerships used to be formed and still exists to this day. Within 20 years, Primitives by Kathy is ranked as some of the top 25 fastest-growing women owned businesses on the earth.
