Calico and Socks: What's Behind the Name?
Named after my two cats Mia and Rio: cats are a good emblem for taking a moment to stop and do nothing more and just stroke the cat. They say cats purrs are healing and owning one can make you live longer. There’s definitely something quirky and mystical about them and something about them that helps you live a good life.
They also subtly inspire you to give love freely because you can’t resist stroking a cat. More than just beautiful candles, we create mindful experiences through luxurious fragrances and eco-friendly ingredients. Just like a cat's gentle purr invites you to slow down and appreciate the moment, we believe that lighting a candle can become a ritual of self-care, a gateway to creating a sanctuary in your own home.
A Passion for Crafting
My journey began with a personal passion for creating beautiful candles. Experimenting with different scents and natural ingredients became a source of joy, and I wanted to share that joy with others. That's why I hand-pour every Calico and Socks candle using premium soy wax and essential oils. We care deeply about the quality of our products and their impact on your home environment.
Mindful Moments & Simple Delights
Whenever I need to work on a project, or sit down to mark a set of books, lighting a candle is always a key part of setting the vibe. I remember even at Uni, when I was working it was music on, warm tea made, and candle. You can find beauty in seemingly mundane tasks and make them into an enjoyable ritual, but it's all about framing in your mind. A life well-lived is filled with mindful moments and simple delights. Our candles are designed to help you create those moments, whether it's unwinding after a long day, focusing on a creative project, or simply enjoying a quiet cup of tea. The flickering flame and beautiful aromas can transform your everyday routine into a mini escape, a reminder to appreciate the beauty and peace that exist within your own home.
