product history
Our 1st candle collection, 2013
John hand stenciled each design in gold leaf on the glass, no design was the same! We printed the box panels on watercolor paper, cut them out and glued them onto the sides of a box to complete the transformation. The scents mixed by us, the candles made in our kitchen.
getting it just right
the end result
Our 2nd candle collection
We moved to a house that came with a built in hair salon that we immediately transformed into our candle (then soon after soap) studio. We bought a vinyl cutter and an large hot foil stamp machine- allowing us to continue to make the packaging along with the candles in-house.
Our 3rd candle collection
We (finally!) evolved into having printed glasses and decals made, while still making the soaps and candles in-house.
Behold the conception of our very first soap. We wanted them to look like mini scuptures, much like the Sottsass striped columns
We started experimenting with different soap shapes, chosing an actual soap bar shape (a little more marketable then the soap columns ;) colorways, and speckled chunks
Our First Soaps, 2014
We originally started with all paper soap packaging and hot foil stamping the soap boxes.
We learned the hard way glycerine soap needs to be sealed in plastic if its going to be stored in a warm climate 🫠
Some past and present soaps
All soaps are cut by hand
Our candle factory
former box production, we still make the candles and package orders here
We made a limited run of CBD lip balms
One of our favorite candles, the limited edition "bananas" candle with included sticker sheet to decorate your own candle jar
During the holidays we wanted to introduce scented handmade felted marijuana stash boxes, but they ended up taking too long 🙁
