melt me

My story

hi, I’m Anna Athina.

and I make candles

I started making candles at a kitchen table, one winter when I wanted something of my own. The first one was crooked and smelled far too much of vanilla. I kept it.

Two years on I make candles for people I have never met — and I still pour them one by one, at the same table.

what I don’t change

Soy wax only
Plant-based, slow burn, clean flame. Never paraffin — not even when it is cheaper.
Small batches
Ten to fifteen candles at a time. If something isn’t right, I pour it again.
One pair of hands
There is no team and no factory. You are always talking to me.

made by hand, made to feel like home
