Primitives by Kathy Hut Hut Eat! Decorative Kitchen Towel

We create product that is 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 – trying to find 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 detail from the sanded edges to the type of ribbon tied on the wire handles, each was a work of passion. Demand grew quickly for the growing line of handmade products, and Kathy enjoyed great success, it was then that she enlisted the help of the wonderful people at Goodwill Services to aid in fulfilling the increasing demand. It was at this moment that one of the most valuable philanthropic partnerships was formed and still exists to this day. Within 20 years, Primitives by Kathy is ranked as one of the top 25 fastest-growing women owned businesses in the world.
