We've thought long & hard for some time about closing the store, it is the right decision for us as we get busier in other aspects of our lives 🩷
As we're now closed, we have looked back at what we've achieved over the last 5 years. We first decided to set up Dublin Custom Candles back in 2020, noticing a niche in the Irish market for personalised candles. With a vision in mind to create a beautiful product, made from the highest quality ingredients & with ethical values, we worked with many wonderful suppliers over the years to achieve just that. 'Candle Making' is definitely a science: In the beginning we spent countless nights in our kitchen with the most basic equipment (picture large pots & forks) trialling different methods. Fast forward a few years, we were able to create, experiment & process from our purpose built studio, with not a large pot or fork in sight.
We were so lucky to have worked with Lynette of Orchid Media who built us a beautiful website & offered amazing advice over the years, thank you Lynette for everything!
We have had had the pleasure of creating personalised gifts for all sorts of wonderful occasions, celebrating life's key milestones, while also representing some more somber times in your lives. It has been a privilege to create these tokens for you & your loved ones. We've also had our fair share of crazy requests which kept us entertained & we can't forget some of our wonderful corporate orders. Thank you all, for every single order we got - it's an amazing feeling to know customers trust your brand enough to purchase from you.
We had plenty more ideas of how to grow the business & we definitely believe there is scope for someone to re-build & grow a personalised candle business in Ireland, it's just not right for us at this time. Happy to pass on any tips to other candle makers, please reach out with any questions. We also have some equipment & supplies available for sale, again please reach out if you're interested.
Thank you to everyone who supported us over the past 5 years, it's been a wonderful experience (most of the time), and we finish up with no regrets.
Keep being thoughtful gifters & mind yourselves.
