About Us
The Story Behind Sutler James
Welcome to Sutler James, where quality craftsmanship and natural relief come together. Our journey began with a personal missionâto create products that truly make a difference. Inspired by a need for effective, natural solutions, we set out to handcraft a range of therapeutic lotions and wellness essentials that not only bring comfort but also embody the spirit of Southern hospitality.
The Beginning of Sutler James
Our story starts with a simple liniment, lovingly created in our founder Beth Stricklandâs kitchen in Alabama. The name "Sutler James" was inspired by family, particularly Bethâs father, and a deep connection to southern traditions. During one of her sickest periods, Beth turned to crafting as a way to stay active and creative. She began attending craft shows and festivals, selling small-batch, hand-poured candles in wood dough bowls, charcuterie spreads made from her garden, hostess gifts, hand-crafted wood decor, charcuterie boards, and holiday decorations. What began as a therapeutic outlet soon evolved into Sutler James when Beth combined her love for creating with her need for natural, effective relief for her autoimmune conditions.
Crafted with Care
Every product in the Sutler James collection is made by hand, using high-quality ingredients sourced with intention. From our best-selling lotions to the new items weâre excited to add, we put care and attention into every step of the process. Our small-batch approach ensures consistency, quality, and a personal touch in everything we create.
A Growing Vision
While our journey started with therapeutic lotions, Sutler James is more than just a product line; itâs a vision of holistic care and thoughtful, high-quality craftsmanship. As we grow, weâre excited to introduce more offerings that fit within our missionâalways made with care and designed to enrich your everyday life. Whether it's wellness products, home essentials, or something new, weâre dedicated to bringing you the very best.

Infused Honey
Two jars of B Stricks infused honey: Spicy and Truffle. Perfect for charcuterie boards, these popular flavors elevate any dish. The Spicy Honey adds a kick to chicken, biscuits, or sandwiches, while the Truffle Honey pairs beautifully with goat cheese, pistachios, or toast with brie. A delicious touch of Southern flair for any occasion.
Craft Charcuterie Spreads
B Stricks craft charcuterie spreads feature a variety of garden-fresh preserves, including dewberry pepper jelly, Perry County pecan pepper glaze, old-fashioned candied pears and figs, spicy garlic dill pickles, pear chutney, and more. These flavorful additions are perfect for elevating any charcuterie board and hosting the ultimate gathering.

Our small-batch, hand-poured candles feature nearly 100 custom curated scents, the first craft we launched after our lotion. We offer a variety of vessels, including travel tins, glass, and custom-decorated wood dough bowls.
