About us
Candles with a Story. Makers with a Mission.
At The Candles Store, we believe a great candle does more than smell amazing — it tells a story. Every candle we carry is hand-poured by small, independent makers who put passion, creativity, and care into every jar. No factories. No shortcuts. Just real craftsmanship from real people.
Our Experience
We’ve spent years discovering and curating the best handmade candles from across the country — visiting studios, talking with makers, and testing hundreds of scents. We’re candle lovers first, with a deep appreciation for quality, clean ingredients, and the magic a good candle can bring into a home.
Our Expertise
We specialize in handmade, small-batch candles made with natural waxes, cotton wicks, and non-toxic, phthalate-free fragrance blends. Each brand we feature is selected for its commitment to quality and its maker’s unique story. Whether you're drawn to cozy classics or bold seasonal scents, our team can guide you to a candle that truly fits your vibe.
Why We’re Trusted
- We vet every candle we carry for quality, burn performance, and ingredient transparency.
- We’re proud to support small businesses and local artisans, not mass-market manufacturers.
- Our customer reviews speak for themselves — people come for the candles, and stay for the purpose behind them.
Our Promise
When you shop at The Candles Store, you’re not just buying a candle — you’re supporting small-batch makers, creative communities, and a slower, more meaningful way to shop. Every order helps fuel an artist’s dream.
