Priced at $38.95 a piece, each candle boasts a cotton braided wick, and is crafted using 100% Canadian beeswax.
Synonymous with high quality ingredients and aesthetically striking products, East City Candles is a brand launched by candlemaker and Whitby, Ontario native Laurel. With its Greek Bust Collection available in blush, sand and black colors, each candle doubles as a decorative art piece in one's home and is not meant to burn for more than 20 minutes at a time.
In addition to these unique novelty candles, East City Candles also offers a wide selection of more traditional beeswax and soy candle products.
