Koan is the commerce platform behind Bath & Unwind and Man Made Store — growing brands through digital retail.
About us
We’re Koan, now proudly based in Chepstow. Since 2004, we’ve grown from a small idea into a friendly, multidisciplinary team who love collaborating, experimenting, and building things that make a real difference. What started as a journey in e-commerce has developed into a wider mission: creating digital products and online experiences that people genuinely enjoy using. Over the past two decades, we’ve built and continue to operate successful e-commerce stores, including Bath & Unwind, where customers can discover the very best in beauty and wellbeing. Stocking much-loved names like Caudalie, Nuxe, Omorovicza, Neom, This Works, Kevin Murphy, Aromatherapy Associates and Stanley. Bath & Unwind has always been about more than just products - it’s about expert advice, thoughtful service and a touch of everyday indulgence. Alongside this, we also run Man Made Store and a collection of 11 extra single-site D2C beauty websites, and have expanded our portfolio by acquiring Clifton Skin & Beauty Salon, bringing our expertise in digital retail into the world of in-person beauty experiences. Our team is made up of people from all backgrounds, united by curiosity, creativity and care for the work we do. Whether we’re developing new SaaS products to solve real marketing challenges, or making the online shopping journey smoother and more enjoyable, we put people at the heart of it all. We believe we’re stronger together - and that respect, collaboration and a bit of fun (plus decent coffee and good music) are the ingredients that help us create something truly special.

Koan Group // Bath & Unwind + Man Made Store reposted this
A rare post from me, but one worth sharing. 🚀 I don’t take enough time away from the day-to-day, but spending time in London for the Help to Grow: Management Course Annual Alumni Conference back in February was a vital reminder of why I should! Hearing from Deepak Ravindran (Co-founder of Oddbox) and Justine Roberts (Founder of Mumsnet) was a highlight. Their stories were a reminder of just how hard it is to grow a business and the resilience required to keep moving forward. I was so inspired and motivated by the workshops and talks, especially the productivity frameworks shared by Bart van Ark and The Productivity Institute. Since then, I’ve been working through how to actually embed those insights into Koan Group // Bath & Unwind + Man Made Store. Turning inspiration into lasting habits is the real challenge! #HelpToGrow #SmallBusiness #Productivity #Leadership #BusinessGrowth #Founders #GrowthMindset

It’s been an exciting few months at Koan HQ in Chepstow. Our warehouse has grown massively, and we’ve finally been able to make the office feel a little more like home (big shoutout to Melanie De Nervaux for the gorgeous interior choices!). We’re also loving having the space to showcase some of our amazing brands around the office - including SACHAJUAN HAIRCARE and Stoneglow Candles - and having two meeting spaces where the team can come together to collaborate on exciting new projects. Not pictured: our lovely new navy and gold kitchen… photos coming soon, once the repairs are complete after someone (aka David Telford) accidentally drilled into a water pipe 🫣 #KoanHQ #OfficeLife #InteriorDesign #WorkspaceGoals #SACHAJUAN #Stoneglow

Earlier this week, our Buyer & Brand Relationship Manager, Kate Falber, and Digital Marketing Associate, Beth Emmett, visited the beautiful Bramley flagship store in Bath. It was fantastic to catch up with Hephzi Hickish and get a first look at the new Bramley products launching this Spring/Summer. We always value time spent with our brand partners - seeing the products and merchandising brought to life in such a stunning space makes all the difference. Congratulations to the entire Bramley team on their flagship store. We’re excited to be stocking the new ranges soon!🌿 #BrandPartnership #RetailCollaboration #OnlineRetail #SpringSummer #BrandSpotlight
