Homecoming Candles is a female-founded and proudly Canadian brand based in Vancouver, B.C.
Founded in 2020 by Suraiya Nanji, Homecoming was born from a love of scent, inspired by her mother’s candle business and a desire to slow down after years in corporate fashion. What started as a DIY project is now a brand known for its elevated hand-poured soy candles, home mists, and essential accessories that blend sustainability with refined design.
With fall just around the corner, Homecoming Candles is set to launch cozy new scents like Smoke Drift + Palo Santo and Cardamom + Star Anise. The brand's vegan, cruelty-free formulations are set to appeal to eco-conscious consumers and are sold at an accessible price point, from $24 to $58 CAD. Homecoming's hand-crafted candles are now available online and at select retailers across Canada and beyond.
