There is a special kind of pride in shopping local in New York. It is a way of connecting with the vibrant, creative energy of the city. So when the mood strikes for a new candle, the search for a great local spot is a rewarding one. From the trendy DIY experience at places like Wick and Pour to the curated selections at boutiques, the city has a lot to offer.
But "local" can mean many things. It can mean a shop that resells many different brands, or it can mean buying directly from the person who made the product with their own hands. As a Brooklyn-based maker, we believe that direct connection is where the real magic happens.
The Local Discovery: What You Will Find
In a city like ours, you will find a fantastic variety of candle experiences. There are fun, social [candle bars] where you can try your hand at making your own, and there are beautiful shops with shelves full of different brands. These are wonderful places for discovery and inspiration.
When you are in a shop that carries multiple lines, the key is to be a savvy consumer. Ask questions. [Is this candle made with pure beeswax or a blend]? Is the fragrance phthalate-free? The staff can be a great resource, but the deepest knowledge will always come directly from the maker.
