Our Story

Kahani is inspired by nature, art, wanderlust, storytelling, and the vibrant cultures around the world. In the Urdu language "kahani" means “story” (کہانی ). Stories have a place in every culture and society and are expressed in many artful ways. They invigorate imagination, passion, innovation and create a sense of comradery. Our Kahani shares scent memories, creating a sensory experience that pairs the beauty of humankind and the wonders of our world. As the candle flame kindles, and your own story begins, our mindfully crafted scents take you on a journey of wanderlust right at home.

Our Candles.

Our vegan, petroleum-free, phthalate-free, and cruelty-free hand-crafted candles are made with only the finest eco-friendly ingredients. Starting with 100% natural soy wax for a cleaner burn paired with a zinc/lead-free cotton wick. Our captivating aroma candles are curated with fragrance oils that are infused with essential oils. Our candles are always hand-poured in small batches into reusable glass containers.

Our Eco-Consciousness.

Kahani strives to leave as little carbon footprint on our beloved planet as possible. We are a brand that is environmentally conscious of the health of our planet and humankind. From the aluminum wick holders to the protective shipping wrap around our candles and the corrugated box they arrive in - all of our packaging is recyclable. To protect your orders from breakage during shipping, we may use crinkle paper filler or cornstarch-based packing peanuts (these peanuts easily dissolve in water). Lastly, our glass containers are recyclable, but they can also be upcycled and repurposed after they are thoroughly washed out.

Our Values.

Along with our commitment to protecting the planet and your health, we are committed to supporting charitable causes that help relieve suffering in our communities. We believe people and our planet are valued over profit. So, a portion of every sale will be donated to charitable organizations that share our values and mission to provide relief for our homeless neighbors and support other charitable causes close to our hearts.
