Paige’s Candle Co.
After losing her mother at an early age, Paige Graham found healthy self-expression through outlets like candle making. She began Paige’s Candle Co. in 2017, bringing handmade candles to inner cities and beyond. Each candle is made with vegan-friendly soy wax and a blend of handcrafted, phthalate-free fragrances from Queens and Brooklyn. We are loving the company’s “Gradient” candle, created in collaboration with Almonte Studio in celebration of Black History Month.
