Meet the maker!

Hey! I'm Mata, and I'm the maker behind Curl Up With A Candle. I make book-themed candles for bookworms, to help enhance your reading experience. My candles help set the scene and the mood for your reading, so you can have a more immersive reading experience. With over five years experience making candles, I decided to combine my two passions to create a new one!

Curl Up With A Candle is made for readers, by a reader. Being an avid reader since I was young, I love reading under a blanket, with a mug of steaming tea, and (of course) a lit candle. With our candles, you have an opportunity to create your perfect reading time, with candles tailored to your favourite genres.

But we won't stop at candles! For now, look at our range, but stay tuned to find more products coming soon.

Curl Up With a Candle is a black-woman owned business, based in Dorset, using locally sourced materials, keeping sustainability in mind. All our candles are 100% soy wax, and made with vegan and cruelty-free ingredients.

When I'm not making candles, I am most likely curled up on the sofa with my cat and my books. If you're interested in what I'm reading, check out my bookstagram at @made.by.mata or follow me on The Storygraph!
