Blind from Birth — Dolton Brailles Every Label by Hand — Blind Pirate Soap Co.

Meet Dolton. He has been completely blind since birth and he Brailles every single label at Blind Pirate Soap Co. by hand. Every one. Not as a gesture. Not as a feature. Because if you cannot read it independently, it isn't finished.

In this video you will watch Dolton work through a full sheet of Windward soap labels on his Brailler — his long fingers moving across the keys with precision, his pinky anchored to the side of the machine as his guide. When the sheet is finished he pulls it free and hands it over. Every label perfect. Every one done by hand.

Blind Pirate Soap Co. is a small batch, blind operated soap company founded by Dolton and his mother in rural South Carolina. Every bar is handcrafted from certified grass-fed tallow and certified USDA organic ingredients. Every label carries Braille pressed by Dolton's hands.

We didn't build accessibility into this company. We built the company from it.

What Our Customers Say

We were skeptical at first, that handmade soap would be any different from regular soap, but we liked the fact of the ingredients being organic from this soap company. That is almost impossible to find in this price range. Boy, were we pleasantly surprised! This is a premium product from a good company, that has made a huge difference to us. We feel it on our skin. Highly recommend.

Love this soap. I left it in the guest room and our overnight guest asked how they could get this great smelling soap. Fantastic new company, growing one bar at a time.

I really like the fragrance of Surfer Suds. It kind of smells like the ocean during the early morning time. I also like its color, which seems to be a light matte blue. It sets up nicely and leaves a nice after smell when you're done.
