A LETTER FROM CHRISTIAN
Thank you for making the last eight months so memorable.
As we prepare for our next chapter, we’re taking a moment to pause, reflect, and celebrate everything we’ve built together.
When I started this business, it was never part of some grand master plan. I simply wanted to earn a little extra money while putting myself through college while working a part-time job. I never imagined that a small Etsy shop, where I was thrilled to receive ten orders a month, would grow into what Christian Paul has become today.
From the very beginning, this business has been completely bootstrapped. My first investment came from my college tax refund, which I used to purchase my first chocolate molds and bags of couverture chocolate. At the time, I knew very little about tempering or molding chocolate. Everything was learned through trial, error, and an obsession with creating flavors that felt nostalgic.
With every order, every comment, every video shared, and every customer who believed in what I was creating, Christian Paul slowly became something much bigger than I ever imagined.
Today, we’re preparing for the next chapter.
Summer Vault is our way of celebrating everything that brought us here before we temporarily close our storefront to prepare for our fall relaunch.
Thank you for believing in this dream from the beginning.
I truly can’t wait to show you what’s next.
— Christian
