Story

Handmade just outside Mexico City, these candles got our attention with their outstanding design. The hand-dipped dupleros are twisted by hand with two wicks - and thus, the name. Double the candle power, double the design, double the flame. The twin flames are intertwined and burn side by side, creating a mirrored effect.

The conical shape allows them to stand up on their own (but don’t forget to put something under them). This Duplero is made from a mixture of waxes, including beeswax, and smells like honey as it burns – the flames ever entwined and flickering in unison. The wicks are 100% cotton.

 Product Care

It is recommended to cut the black burned wick with a trimmer to adjust the size of the flame.

Caution:
Do not place flammable materials near or above the candle.
Keep the candle away from direct sunlight and wind.
Never leave a burning candle unattended.
