Home County Co.

“The fabric of our lives is woven from the threads of our experiences; the places we’ve been, the people we’ve met and the things we’ve seen and done. Whether it’s scrambling over rock pools in search of crabs, snuggled up in the comforting embrace of home, emerging transcendent into a secluded forest glade serenaded with birdsong, or simply relaxing with an awfully nice cup of tea. These emotionally charged occasions are intrinsically locked in our memories.”

Here at the Home County Co. we’ve scoured the length and breadth of the beautiful British Isles discovering the landscapes, the stories, and the secrets that make Britain great.

We’ve captured the very essence of Blighty through a range of fragrant, nostalgic, and heartfelt scents. Each fragrance encapsulates the olfactory nuances of its county, whether it be the hedgerows and meadows scent of Gloucestershire or the sea salt and sage aroma of Sussex.

We pride ourselves on our traditional methods (yes, we still pour each and every candle by hand!) and our use of high-quality, natural ingredients. From our workshop on a farm in rural Buckinghamshire, we hand-pour delightfully scented soy candles, reed diffusers and hand care products in small batches to ensure even scent distribution for perfect products every time.

Championing fellow British businesses, we take great care to select suppliers from exclusively within the UK for every aspect of our manufacturing process. Not only does this help us to support fellow British businesses, it also reduces our carbon footprint.

We are so passionate about the abundance of outstanding natural beauty that we are lucky enough to enjoy in the UK, and so we are committed to producing sustainable candles with minimal impact on the environment. Our candles are produced from natural soy wax, which is biodegradable and vegan-friendly, and all of our packaging is recyclable, plastic-free and created in association with the World Land Trust’s Carbon Balanced Paper initiative.
