Why a refillable candle holder?

We wanted to create a candle solution that prioritises reusability without compromising on beauty.

Meet Sappho's Angels - our first luxury refillable holder design. Featuring luscious sapphic artwork by the talented Mayticks - this concrete cutie was made to be loved, and used again and again. 💖

Instead of chasing mass production like many big brands, we focused on designing a thoughtful and intentional piece of art.


With this in mind, Sappho's Angels is a limited edition design, with only 100 made in three colour ways (black, white, and fuchsia).

"Absolutely perfect! This candle was exactly what I dreamed it would be".
