🕯️ About Our Candles
Our candles are lovingly hand-poured in small batches and made with paraffin-free, vegan-friendly soy wax. Designed to be both decorative and functional, they add a gentle charm to any space — whether you light them or simply admire them. We offer a range of colours and scents to suit your mood or event, and bulk orders are warmly welcome for weddings, gifts, and more.
🌿 What Makes Our Candles Special
We believe candles should do more than just burn — they should tell a story, spark joy, and feel personal. That’s why we focus on thoughtful design, sustainable materials, and a slow-made process. Each candle carries the marks of handcrafting, from gentle texture variations to one-of-a-kind shapes, making every piece just a little different — and a lot more special.
🔥 Candle Care & Safety
Handmade candles bring warmth, beauty, and a little magic into your space — but because they involve an open flame, it's important to treat them with care. Please take a moment to read these simple safety reminders to help you enjoy your candles responsibly.
✿ Decorative Sculptural Candles
Our artistic candles are crafted with aesthetics in mind — perfect for display, but also safe to enjoy with care.
- Always remove any ribbons, tags, or packaging before lighting.
- Use non-flammable tray or candle plate to catch any wax drips.
- During the first burn, allow the wax to melt close to the outer edge. This encourages an even melt and helps preserve the shape.
- Be aware that sculpted candles may drip, especially as they burn unevenly. This is part of their charm!
❖ Taper Candles
These elegant candles make a beautiful statement, especially at dinners and events.
- Ensure they are placed upright and securely in a holder designed for tapers.
- Avoid placing them in narrow glass sleeves unless required, as this may trap heat and increase dripping.
- Keep away from wind or drafts for a clean, steady burn.
✂ Wick Care
- Trim the wick to 5-6mm before each burn. This reduces soot and helps your candle burn evenly.
- If the flame becomes too tall or flickers wildly, extinguish the candle, trim the wick, and relight it.
📝 A Friendly Note from Us
Our candles are vegan-friendly and made with 100% natural soy wax. Each piece is hand-poured in small batches, so you may notice slight imperfections like:
- Tiny bubbles or texture variations
- Soft frosting (a natural crystal layer unique to soy wax)
- Slight differences in colour from batch to batch
These quirks are totally normal and won’t affect how your candle burns or smells. They’re simply part of the beauty and honesty of handmade craftsmanship 💛
