RK Apothecary offers the best in high-end, luxury bath and body products intended as unique gifts for a special occasion or as a personal indulgence. Apothecaries, long a fixture of European and early American cities, offer a unique retail experience. The setting is intimate, almost like a library in a way that encourages leisurely shopping and hands-on experience with products. Apothecary displays suggest unusual, restorative combinations of products that might not otherwise be found together. It is my hope that customers will enjoy the store as a place to slow down, browse, and enjoy the sensory experiences offered by a refined, artisanal collection.

"RK Apothecary" is short for "Rotkätzchen," which means "Little Red Cat." The name is an example of how luxury products should play an appropriate role in our lives: objects should be beautiful and carefully crafted, but never too serious. The ornate lion in our logo is borrowed from symbols used by European noble families, but at the same time he's small and pink. For me luxury is fun, it's whimsical, it's of the highest quality, and has nothing to do with power or prestige.

Rotkätzchen is also the name of a line of bath and body products that I personally created in 2008. The line is focused on sumptuous combinations of color, fragrance, and packaging that make for perfect gifts. Over time, the Rotkätzchen house brand will be introduced at the Apothecary as each product is refined and perfected.

I invite you to join us!
