Hi, I'm Victoria, the maker, dreamer, marketing manager, website designer, and slightly candle-obsessed person behind this brand. I started VESNA because I genuinely couldn't find candles that felt good in every sense (good for my home, good for my wellbeing, and good for the planet). So I made my own. Every product is created with real care and intention, and I hope you can feel that when it arrives at your door.

Yes, every single one. Each candle, wax melt, and diffuser is hand-poured and crafted in small batches, which means no two are exactly alike, and every order gets my full love and attention. There's no factoryor production line, just me, my workspace, and a deep passion for what I do.

Absolutely. No beeswax, no animal-derived ingredients, no compromises. Every product is 100% vegan and cruelty-free, because kindness to the planet and to animals is something we take seriously around here, not just a label we stick on for marketing.

We source carefully and intentionally. All of our ingredients are chosen for their purity, sustainability, and minimal environmental impact. We prioritise natural, non-toxic, and eco-friendly materials and work with suppliers who share those values. We'd rather take our time finding the right ingredient than cut corners for the sake of cost.

Most conventional candles are made from paraffin wax — a petroleum by-product — and scented with synthetic fragrances that can release harmful chemicals into your home. Ours are made from natural, sustainable coconut wax and fragranced only with essential oils, which are safe for you and the planet. And, our plantable candles go one step further: instead of ending up in landfill, they give something back, as the packaging can grow into wildflowers that support local pollinators and bring a little beauty into the world.

Yes — we've thought carefully about packaging too, because what's the point of an eco-conscious candle wrapped in layers of plastic? Our packaging is plastic-free, and either recyclable (postal boxes, box seal, tissue paper, diffuser boxes), biodegradable (wax melt packets, packaging peanuts) or plantable (candle boxes), and we're always looking for ways to reduce waste even further.

We do! There's something really special about being able to smell a candle before you buy it, and we love meeting our community face to face. You can keep an eye on our Instagram or sign up to our email newsletter to find out where we'll be popping up next — we announce events there first.

Yes! At the moment, all of our stockists are based in the Bristol area, but we are working on growing our stockist network further soon. Currently you will be able to find us here: The Hatch (Cafe), Staple Hill: Plantable candles Manu Botanicals (Hair salon), Staple Hill: Plantable candles, wax melts Blaze, Bristol: Wax melts Glass Designs & Gallery: Plantable candles, wax melts

Honestly? It's for anyone who wants their home to feel like a peaceful sanctuary, natural, and free from toxins. But if you're a woman juggling a busy life who craves a little stillness after a stressful day at work, who cares about what you bring into your home and what impact it has on the planet — this was really made with you in mind.
