Our Story

Made by hand,
felt by you.

We pour every candle and mix every gypsum kit ourselves, right here in our Cape Town studio. Each scent is chosen to shift the mood of a room, and every kit is packed to spark a quiet hour of creativity.

You get pieces that carry the warmth of the hands that made them — no shortcuts, no factory lines, just small batches done with care.

Good to Know

Questions we hear often.

Do you take custom candle orders?

We focus on small batch production, but we're always happy to chat about what you need. Send us a message with your idea and we'll let you know if it's something we can pour for you.

Is the Princess DIY Paint kit suitable for kids?

The kit is designed as a hands-on creative activity. It's a great project to do together — just make sure younger makers have a bit of supervision with the materials.

Where can I collect my items?

We operate in-store right here in Cape Town. Once you've enquired, we'll arrange a time for you to swing by the studio and pick up your pieces.

How long do your candles burn for?

Burn times vary depending on the size and type of candle. Each piece is hand-poured for a clean, even burn — ask us about a specific candle and we'll give you the details.

How do I care for my candle?

Trim the wick before each burn, keep it away from draughts, and let the wax pool reach the edges on the first light. Simple steps that keep your candle burning beautifully for longer.
