Swazi Candle Zebra

The swazi candles are entirely handmade, in the small African Kingdom of Swaziland, established 1981 and now employs over 100 people.

The candles are made in 2 stages, the basic inner wax candle and a hard outer wax veneer which incorporates the candles individual design. This outer layer hardly melts when the candle is lit, and according to the pattern the candle burns with a rich, romantic glow. This unique design allows the candle to be re used by placing a votive or tea light in the cavity when the inner core has melted

Porcupine Quill & Guinea Fowl Feather

Made by a group of Xhosa women living in a small rural area of the Eastern Cape, South Africa. The candle-holder is made of natural materials gathered in the Bushveld,  wooden off cuts,porcupine quills and guinea fowl feathers. This project has enabled the women to produce something beautiful that they are proud of, as well as earning an income and therefore becoming more independent.

As the candle is a tea light it is a reusable item.

We have 3 sizes:-    20cm $25.00, 17cm $20.00, 13cm $15.00
