Products
Product descriptions specify when an item is handmade, hand-finished or individually produced. Please refer to the individual product page for the specific details of each item.
Handmade and naturally finished products can show subtle differences in colour, texture, surface appearance or finish. These variations are part of the character of individually produced pieces and do not necessarily indicate a defect.
Candle Care
During the first burn, allow the wax to melt evenly toward the edges of the vessel. This helps establish an even melt pattern and can reduce the risk of tunnelling during future burns.
A typical recommended burning session is approximately 2–4 hours, depending on the candle. Do not leave a burning candle unattended or burn it for longer than the recommended maximum stated in the candle care instructions.
Yes. Before each burn, allow the wax to cool and trim the wick to approximately 5 mm. A properly trimmed wick helps maintain a more controlled flame and can reduce soot and excessive smoke.
Tunnelling can occur when a candle is repeatedly extinguished before the wax has had enough time to melt evenly across the surface. Following the recommended burning time and keeping the wick properly trimmed can help prevent this.
Soot can be caused by an overly long wick, drafts or an excessively large flame. Trim the wick to approximately 5 mm and keep the candle away from moving air.
Stop using the candle when approximately 1–1.5 cm of wax remains at the bottom of the vessel. Do not burn a candle all the way down to the base.
Store your candle upright in a cool, dry and dark environment. Avoid direct sunlight, excessive heat, humidity and strong temperature fluctuations. For ideal storage, approximately 15–25°C is recommended.
