The IVEAGH Story

At Iveagh, candle-making is more than just creating wax and wick, it’s an art, a ritual, and a way to slow down, be present, and connect with the moment. Our journey began years ago with our previous brand, Abeille. Back then, we poured our hearts into every handcrafted candle, igniting a passion that fueled us to create beautiful, thoughtful pieces. But as life often does, it gently guided us down different paths, and the craft we loved so much faded into the background.

Yet, something was missing.

We missed the process, the careful selection of ingredients, the warmth of a flickering flame, and the joy that comes from creating something truly special. More than that, we missed the connection that a candle brings. How the light transforms a room, and how a single fragrance can evoke nostalgia, comfort, and a sense of calm.

That’s when we realised it was time to return to our roots.

Inspired by the stillness and natural beauty of Iveagh Bay, the place where the idea for our brand was born, we reignited our passion for candle-making and refined our craft. With IVEAGH, we set out to create more than just candles. We wanted to craft an experience, one that embodies relaxation, warmth, and quiet luxury with every flicker.

We’re a husband and wife team, based here in Christchurch, New Zealand, and we both share a deep passion for fragrance creation. When you support us, you’re not just buying a candle, you’re supporting our craft, our story, and our commitment to creating something special. Every candle we create is made with the utmost care, using only the finest ingredients.

From our hands to your home, we’re thrilled to share this journey with you, and we invite you to experience the serenity and connection that each of our candles brings.

Thank you for being part of our story.
