Inspired by the charm of the historic seaside village of Arniston, these hand-painted candles capture the serene beauty of the South African coast. Lovingly hand poured and hand painted in South Africa by skilled artisans — primarily single mothers from rural communities who support extended families of 12 to 15 people. Made from the highest quality natural paraffin wax with a 100% cotton wick, these candles are unscented, smokeless, and free from added toxins. Each candle is uniquely crafted and may vary slightly from the photo, consistent with the character of the collection. First burn time: 1-hour for every inch diameter Wicks should always be cut to ¼” prior to lighting Avoid drafts – they cause dripping! Ensure candles are extinguished prior to leaving the room
