The Fanciful Fox, the Hill Section boutique that caters to the conscious consumer, will be moving its location this spring. The mother-daughter team of Kathie and Amanda Fox will be moving to a new, larger location to accommodate their ever-growing inventory. At their current location at 1425 Ash Street, they sell handmade organic bar and liquid soaps, lotions, scrubs, and all sorts of skin care.  There is also a scrub bar where customers can have body scrubs made to order while they wait.  In addition to bath and body products, The Fanciful Fox also sells handmade items that are friendly to the planet and the artisans that make them.  They have items such as jewelry made from recycled paper, purses and bags made from old plastic and car seat belts, and hand woven scarves.

Their new digs will be at 342 Adams Avenue in downtown Scranton. Along with the new larger space, the inventory will expand as well to include more fair trade items such as shoes, a wider selection of clothing for women and children, house wares, coffees, teas, and vegan chocolates. They are expecting some items that are made by people in Haiti, and jewelry from Tibet. Not only has the fair trade stock exploded, but the bath and body merchandise has as well. At the new storefront on Adams Ave, there will be an array of new soaps, body butters, fair trade sugar scrubs, and a wider variety of candles.  There will also be enough room for an in house workshop.  Made to order bath and body products will be easier than ever, especially the scrub bar!

The Fanciful Fox is a vegan boutique that cares about the planet and all the living creatures on it.  In 2009, they were awarded a Compassionate Business Award by PETA.  They are licensed by PETA as a cruelty free company, and they were recently invited to join the Fair Trade Federation.

World Fair Trade Day is Saturday, May 8.  To celebrate that occasion and their “Grand Re-opening” downtown, The Fanciful Fox will be hosting a fair trade event from 10:00 am until 8:00pm.  There will be free fair trade coffee samples, soap samples, and a chance to win a $50 Fanciful Fox gift certificate.  There will also be live music and a contest to design their next soap.
