Most Popular Questions
Legacy Candles are hand-poured, eco-friendly candles made using pre-loved ceramic or glass tableware as containers, promoting sustainability and reducing waste through the circular economy.
How do you source the pre-loved tableware for the candles?
We carefully curate pre-loved items from local thrift stores, flea markets, and donations, ensuring each piece has a story and a unique character before it becomes part of your home décor.
Are the candles made from natural ingredients?
Yes, our candles are made from 100% pure soy wax, which is biodegradable and burns cleaner than paraffin wax. We also use handpicked, eco-friendly aromas to create a luxurious experience.
Can I send in my own tableware for a custom candle?
Absolutely! We offer a custom service where you can provide your cherished tableware, and we will turn it into a beautiful, handcrafted Legacy Candle. First you need to contact us in order to see if the “container” is suitable for candles (for example, crystal glass might break if too thin, under certain circumstances and wood bowls are not recommended to be used as containers).
Are the containers reusable after the candle burns out?
Yes, our Legacy Candles are designed with reuse in mind. Once the candle has burned down, you can easily clean the container and repurpose it for household use. Also, you can send it back to us (no cleaning needed) to be refilled with your favourite scent, for just half the price.
What sizes do the Legacy Candles come in?
Our candles come in various sizes depending on the container, and each candle size and burn time are different. We are trying to provide all measurements for each product listed on the site.
How do Legacy Candles contribute to sustainability?
By repurposing pre-loved tableware and using natural, renewable materials like soy wax, we reduce waste and promote a circular economy, helping protect the environment.
What kind of scents are available for the Legacy Candles?
We offer a range of scents inspired by nature, wellness, and comfort, from soothing lavender to refreshing citrus. Each fragrance is carefully selected to promote a relaxing atmosphere.
How should I care for my candle to ensure it lasts?
Trim the wick to 1/4 inch before each use and allow the candle to burn for at least 2 hours to avoid tunneling. Keep your candle away from drafts to ensure an even burn.
Do you offer gift options or bulk orders for special events?
Yes, our Legacy Candles make perfect gifts! We offer personalised packaging and bulk orders for weddings, corporate events, or special occasions. Contact us for custom options and check our vlog for inspiration in ordering your candles.
