Soraya Hennessy’s endeavors to create top quality accessories that reflect our core values. Our education into candle making led us to South America, a familiar place with boundless talent, heart and soul. We were captivated by the story and craftsmanship of a fourth generation Ecuadorian candle maker, Pedro. Pedro’s work echoes his ancestor-taught, candle making technique, traditionally produced for churches of Quito, Ecuador. He has grown and evolved his family’s process by layering in fragrances and altering shapes, elevating the final product while utilizing his ancestral and artisanal teachings. Each of our SH candles is hand poured with 100% vegetable wax, into handmade artisan- crafted, ceramic- vessels. The result is an artisanal candle that preserves generational traditions, while incorporating contemporary designs and fragrances. We stand proud in our choice to produce 100% of our candles in Ecuador, South America, by real people, living authentic lives
Our fragrances are meant to evoke memories of peace, tranquility, passion and warmth. We hope our candles invite memories and light the way for new memories. It is an honor to be welcomed into your home.
