The Tile Collection
Four designs inspired by the humble tile: folky sprigs, small tulips and graphic checks. Each motif is hand-poured and inlaid, so the pattern runs right through the wax. Porter, Checker, Thyme and Delft.
4 designs · £26 a pair · 10+ hour burn
Our signature collection
The Marbled Collection
Sculptural dinner candles, hand-poured in layers so the contours reveal themselves as they burn. Eight shades, from Jam Tart to Piccalilli.
