Swazi Candle Factory

But what you can't do in the Netherlands is learn how these candles are made. So, take the opportunity to explore the workshop and see firsthand how these stunning candles are crafted using a special technique. They employ the millefiore, or "thousand flowers" technique—an ancient method originating from Alexandria, later perfected in Italy.

This technique ensures that the outer layer of the candle remains hard and barely melts, giving it a rich, romantic glow while the inner wax burns down. Once the candle is used up, the outer shell remains intact and can even be reused with a tea light inside. Super handy, as these candles are so beautiful, you’ll want to keep them! Will you choose one with an animal print, or are you more drawn to the vibrant patterns? There's plenty to choose from!
