ABOUT COUTURE CANDLES
Hi! Welcome to Couture Candles!! We are two teenage girls who started this business during the pandemic. Starting a business has always been dream for us, and we are so fortunate that we get to share our products with you! We sell both retail and wholesale! We're based in New Jersey, but you can find our candles in stores along the East Coast. We hope you love our candles as much as we do!

Hi guys!! I'm a 16 years old junior in high school, and proud co-owner of Couture Candles! Since I could remember, I wanted to be an entrepreneur. I wanted to make and sell something unique and meaningful, and I strongly believe that Couture Candles is exactly that! I'm so grateful that my family always believed that I could accomplish big things and for their constant support.
Raquel and I are always working on how to improve our business, and I'm often asked how I balance running a business with my AP classes, volunteering, and dancing. My response is always that blasting music and working on candles became my therapy, and I absolutely enjoy every (okay, almost every) minute I spend working on it!
I'm so appreciative for each and every one of our customers, and reading their feedback shows me that everything is so worth it! To all of our old customers, thank you for trusting us to provide you with the most special gifts, and to our new customers, get ready to fall onto the Couture Candle bandwagon. Just a warning, once you start buying Couture Candles, you fall in love and just won't be able to stop!!

Hii everyone!! I'm a co-founder of Couture Candles, based in NJ!! It's always been a dream of mine and Miriam’s to start a business, and together, we finally made it a reality!
Couture Candles has been a fun way to escape the stress and unknown of the COVID-19 pandemic. Creating and packaging our candle creations has been something that we both thoroughly enjoyed! As a small business started during the pandemic, we've struggled along the way, but each challenge brought new opportunities to thrive. We hope you guys stay with us throughout this journey of expanding our business!
Now, more about me! I'm 17 and a senior in high school! I love practicing photography and going on late-night drives to the library with music blasting (with Miriam of course ;). I'm hoping to spend my last year of high school with friends, while expanding our business. I’m really excited to finish my last year off strong!
