Welcome to MEL. From Hive to Home.
A clean burn.
Crafted by hand, rooted in the land.
Handcrafted with care and devotion, our beeswax candles are born from the hives of Portuguese fields, a reminder of the simple, powerful rituals that ground us. Each flame whispers of the land, of ancient rhythms, and of the bees who give us this gift.

Our candles honor a time when we were all fire keepers, tending to the sacred glow that warms, heals, and connects us.

We believe in moments that become memories.
The quiet ones. The sacred ones. The shared ones. The glow of beeswax has long accompanied humanity through celebration, prayer, grief, and joy. MEL carries that lineage forward, grounding modern life in ancient light. May your table, your home, your ritual, be part of this living story.
Candle Holders
Each piece in our candle holder collection is thoughtfully sourced, restored, and given new life. We carefully thrift vintage candle holders, then restore them in-house to preserve their beauty and function. Candles included with each Candle holder.
