Dan & Polly began in 2020, in a world that felt still and uncertain.
The name Dan & Polly is deeply personal: a tribute to my late dad, Dan, whose warmth continues to guide me, and Polly, the childhood nickname my mother still lovingly calls me. Together, they remind me of family, legacy, and the quiet strength in everyday moments.
Our very first candle was a three-tier mould, created with my dad. He said it symbolised him, my brother, and myself. The three pieces coming together to make a beautiful piece of light. That moment shaped everything Dan & Polly would become: a way to honour life, celebrate connection, and hold space for meaningful moments.
Each candle is handcrafted with care, from vegan soy wax. Designed for safe, clean burning, creating keepsakes that hold your memories and bring beauty into everyday life.
Dan & Polly is a growing studio rooted in love, remembrance, and celebration, cherishing the now, one flickering flame at a time.
