Travel Candles with a Story: The Victorian Candle Co. at Feather and Twigs

April 12, 2026

At Feather & Twigs, we are proud to work with independent makers who care deeply about what they create. Our range of travel candles from The Victorian Candle Co. is a perfect example of that philosophy in practice — thoughtfully made, beautifully designed, and created with purpose.

The Victorian Candle Co. began in 2019, founded by brothers Aidan and Ru Blackett in Cumbria. What started as a hobby in their parents’ kitchen soon became something far more meaningful: a quiet but determined pursuit of quality, fragrance, and craftsmanship. [victoriancandle.co]

Early on, friends and family noticed something special — not just the scents themselves, but the care poured into every candle. Inspired by Victorian‑era literature, artwork, and traditional British craftsmanship, the brothers launched their first collection online the same year. The name The Victorian Candle Co. reflects their belief in timeless design and products made properly, not hurried. [victoriancandle.co]

As demand grew locally, candles were poured day and night, each one made by hand with attention to detail and pride in the process. Today, The Victorian Candle Co. continues to craft their candles in Cumbria, supplying independent retailers and heritage destinations across the UK — while staying true to the values they started with: careful craftsmanship, lasting design, and quality you can feel.

Why We Love Their Travel Candles

Their travel candles capture everything we love about the brand. Compact and practical, they’re perfect for taking a little comfort on the road — whether that’s a weekend away, a holiday cottage, or simply moving from room to room at home. Despite their size, they deliver rich fragrance and a clean, even burn, making them ideal companions for travel, gifting, or everyday moments of calm.

For us, these candles aren’t just about scent. They’re about slowing down, choosing well, and supporting makers who value quality over quantity. They fit effortlessly into the Feather & Twigs ethos — products with soul, made to be enjoyed rather than rushed.

If you’re looking for a small luxury to take on your travels or a thoughtful gift with a genuine story behind it, our Victorian Candle Co. travel candles are a beautiful place to start.
