An Update on Our Pricing
January, 2025
First off, let me just say: THANK YOU! Truly. For 8 incredible years, you’ve supported Barbari in ways that continue to amaze us—whether by sharing our herbal blends with your friends, tagging us in your slow-burn moments, or simply continuing to choose us as part of your rituals. Your loyalty and support have allowed us to grow into the brand we are today, and for that, we are endlessly grateful.
But today, I want to share an important update: for the first time since our launch, we’ve updated our pricing.
This wasn’t an easy decision. Like everything we do at Barbari, this change comes with a lot of thought and intention. So, let us explain why.
Behind the Price
Over the years, we’ve worked hard to buffer you, our customers, from the increasing costs of creating our herbal blends and prerolls. But as ingredient and production costs have continued to rise, alongside the general shifts we’ve all felt in the economy (and climate), it’s become clear that this adjustment is no longer avoidable. Updating our pricing allows us to reflect the true cost of sourcing, producing, and delivering our offerings.
Simply put, this change ensures that Barbari can continue operating as a healthy, sustainable business for the long haul—one that will always prioritize the care and quality you’ve come to expect from us.
What’s Changing?
We’ve made some slight increases to the prices of our full size herbal blends and spliffs. These updates are designed to better reflect the snowballing costs we pay along every part of the supply chain, while ensuring we can continue to deliver the botanicals you know and love.
That said, we’ve also made a significant adjustment in the opposite direction: we’ve lowered the price of our hemp smokes by nearly 25% Why? Because accessibility matters to us and this is not just a money-grab. We are committed to ensuring our pricing accurately reflects our costs.
Our Commitment to Accessibility
We understand that, for many of you, our herbal blends are a small but meaningful indulgence—a treat to help you pause, reconnect, and elevate your everyday. We want to ensure that this stays within reach, even with these pricing adjustments.
That’s why we’re offering sliding scale pricing for customers who may need a little flexibility. If the updated pricing feels like a barrier, just email us at hello@barbarishop.com or send a chat in the bottom right corner of our website before placing your order, and we’ll work with you. No judgment. No questions asked.
What This Means for the Future
This change helps ensure that Barbari continues to thrive, not just for today, but for years to come. It allows us to support our farmers, suppliers and production team, continue to invest in sustainability, and keep bringing you the high-quality products you love. It also gives us more capital to allocate to product development, which is a core part of our creative passion—we have some really exciting products on the roadmap🫖 that we're eager to get across the finish line.
Through every step of this journey, we’ve been guided by our love for what we do and the incredible people who make it possible: you. Thank you for trusting us with your moments of balance, connection, and joy. You’re the reason we’re here, and we’re so excited to continue growing together.
With gratitude,
Valarie Sakota
Chief Petal Pusher, cofounder
