NUESTRA HISTORIA

We’re a family-owned small business of self-taught vela makers, born from a simple Christmas dinner conversation in 2018. When our sister wished for candles that smelled like home—like Pan Dulce and Café de Olla—we realized we could bring those scents to life. With a small savings, a candle kit, and lots of trial and error, we began crafting fragrances that spark nostalgia and celebrate our culture.

 

Our candles are inspired by childhood memories with our Nana—her Fresas con Crema, pitchers of Horchata, and Sunday mornings filled with sweet bread and coffee. Each candle is poured into a traditional hand-painted barro bowl, carrying both unique scents and authentic roots. From Café de Olla and Flan to Fabuloso-like and Vaporu, our creations are made to make people smile and remember home.

 

Our luchador mask logo is a tribute to our parents’ words: “Siempre lucha por lo que quieres.” It’s a symbol of resilience, heritage, and the fight for a better future. We’re proud that our candles not only stand out for their unique vessels and scents but also for the memories and culture they honor.
