Tired of the beige malaise and uninspired naming, I combined my love of punchy Victorian flair with wordplay to create Can'tdles. What started as 100% all-natural candles (which are still only made with coconut soy wax, toxin-free fragrances, and all-cotton wicks!) has expanded into a cult-like following of customers. Our curated scent collections now are not only candles, but body care and bath items, too. Bubble bath salts, beard balms and soaps joined the lineup, made for sensitive skin by using only the highest-quality versions of every ingredient. With a strong following of readers, we also expanded into book lover gift items, expanding our bookish scents from 1 to 3, and adding in book locket for an easy gift set at any bookstore. My studio is based in the quirky city of Richmond, VA and every single thing you buy is made with actual human hands. With decades of experience in both retail and ecommerce, I am very familiar with the challenges and elation store owners live through, and love being able to partner with you all every day.
