Candl’ and Other Stories: Where Nostalgia Meets Sustainability
Step into Candl’ and Other Stories, a boutique candle-making studio born from love for beautiful things, dear memories, and the pleasure of craftsmanship. Here, every flame tells a story: of childhood joy, handmade treasures, and a deep respect for nature and community.
Our Philosophy
- Handmade artistry: Each candle is lovingly crafted, echoing the joyful engagement in manual work and and the pleasure of working with colors, smells, shapes and textures.
- Natural ingredients: We use rapeseed wax and eco wicks sourced from trusted European suppliers, ensuring a clean, safe burn for your family.
- Eco-conscious living: Every vessel is carefully chosen from vintage stores, flea markets, and brocantes, giving forgotten objects a second life. Same thought is put also in packaging and chosen ingredients.
- Reuse, reduce, recycle: Our candles are designed to live beyond their flame. Once the wax is gone, the container becomes a cherished glass or cup, adding beauty to everyday rituals.
- Local production: Rooted in European craftsmanship, our boutique studio supports local suppliers and celebrates the spirit of our larger village.
The Experience
Lighting a Candl’ creation is more than producing ambiance . It’s a return to nostalgia, a moment of peace, and a sensorial engagement. Each flame whispers calm, relaxation, and enchantment, while honoring the planet and the people who make the product part of their stories.
Why Candl’ and Other Stories?
Because we believe beauty should be sustainable, memories should be tangible, and everyday objects should spark joy. Candl’ and Other Stories is not just about candles, it’s about craftsmanship, community, and conscious living.
Safety
Do not leave the candle burn unattended. Burn each candle for 2-3 hours at a time, to avoid a-overheating of the containers.
Place the candle on a support (a pretty plate or anything heat resistant). Else it can overheat your furniture and damage it.
Instruct children/ keep away from children. My candles are poured in shapes of objects that normally have a different use. This can be confusing without prior instruction. Make sure children stay away from the hot cups!
Trim the wick of the candle, during or after each burn. It will keep the flame at a decent size and not overheat the pot.
The fragrance used is free of dangerous chemicals. Be still mindful, if the fragrance is too strong for you.
