About Our Process & People
When you order in bulk, it is not just about the candle; it is about the team effort behind it. For instance, we recently spent full days manually decorating 300 coconut shell candles with dried spices because that was the texture our client wanted. We do not just pour and leave. We use heat guns for a smooth finish and handle every single ribbon by hand, ensuring the final box arrives looking exactly like the vision you shared.
The Reality of Handmade
People often ask if we use machines for our bulk orders. The answer is no. Everything you see here, from the first wick placement to the final ribbon tie, is done by hand. We believe this is the only way to get that 'Amour' finish.
Our Workflow
- Pouring & Setting: We work in batches. Whether it is soy wax or gel wax for our coffee collection, we ensure the temperatures are perfect for a clean, slow burn.
- The Details: If your order involves dried florals, cinnamon sticks, or custom wax embeds, my team and I spend hours applying these one by one. It is slow work, but it ensures no two candles look exactly the same.
- Quality Check: We do not pack anything until it meets our visual standards. We check for surface bubbles, label alignment, and wick centering.
- The Final Touch: Packaging is as important as the candle itself. We assemble every box, add the lining, and tie the bows. It is a full-day hustle, but seeing the master cartons ready for dispatch is the best feeling.
Can We Handle Your Timeline?
Yes. We have handled orders from 50 to 650 candles, and we are used to tight deadlines. Since everything happens in our studio, we are transparent about what we can deliver and when. If you have a specific date for an event or a product launch, talk to us early. We would rather be honest about our capacity than rush a product that you will be gifting to your guests or clients.
