Candle House Ceylon, the brainchild of visionary founder Bhagya Iddamalgoda, has emerged as a beacon of creativity and sustainability in the world of handcrafted candles. Guided by a profound passion for infusing art and design into products, Bhagya, armed with a Business degree, has led the brand to create candles that not only meet the highest standards but also embody personal experiences and a firm commitment to sustainability.
Founded in 2016, Candle House Ceylon embarked on its journey in a makeshift workshop at home, driven by the bold vision of crafting beautifully designed hand-poured scented candles. Months of meticulous trial and error culminated in a perfect blend, utilizing locally sourced ingredients like waxes, cotton core wicks, and fragrance oils.
The brand’s inception featured small batches of hand-poured candles, starting with a mini container candle range. Positive responses propelled growth into a diverse array of fragrances, sizes, and shapes.
Bhagya Iddamalgoda shared her vision for 2024, stating, “We are planning an exciting journey of expansion and community engagement. Diversifying our product portfolio with new fragrances and complementary products ensures there’s something for everyone.”
What sets Candle House Ceylon apart is the personal touch – every candle is hand-poured by local artisans dedicated to bringing light and joy. Customization is a cornerstone, ensuring candles suit various needs, styles, and tastes.
The primary mission is to create beautifully handcrafted, quality home fragrance products, with a secondary mission focusing on fostering inclusivity and empowering a team of incredible women. This commitment extends to the community through collaborations and empowerment programs.
Bhagya added, “We plan to continue community workshops for the underprivileged, fostering a sense of community and collaboration with added skills and creative expressions.”
