100% beeswax candles handmade in Donegal, Ireland.

Beeswax burns cleaner, brighter and longer than any other wax, leaving behind an uplifting natural honey scent and a warm sun-like glow.

It was an honour to write a chapter for ‘Leap’ by and . Isla was so lovely to work with and helped get my thoughts in order, while Laura’s design is incredibly thoughtful and beautiful from cover to cover. What a duo!

This wonderful book collects 50 stories from people living and working creatively in Donegal. It’s a blessing to be part of this community, and the book is a lovely read spanning music, art, photography, jewellery, fashion and more.

We have a limited number of copies in our online shop. Final shipping date is Tuesday, 16th. 💛

A heartfelt thank you to the wonderfully talented .long.ireland for capturing the soul of our beeswax candles so beautifully. She found their essence in the warmth of the flame and the wax. We couldn’t recommend working with her more!
It was especially meaningful for us, as we balance life with a busy toddler and keeping our candle business alight. Thank you, Aoife. We just love the photos!
💛 See more of her beautiful photos on our website! We’re taking final Christmas orders this week, with our last dispatch day being Tuesday 16th.

The Rush Light - beloved beeswax and rush wick candles. We gathered rushes from the foot of Muckish Mountain and prepared them with a love and openness for our tradition and heritage, trusting the power of old knowledge and of natural products.

There is a special feeling which washes over you when you burn the Rush Light. It brings great stillness and clarity - a perspective that brings together the past with the moment we are in now, gives space for the appreciation of our nature, our heritage and folklore.

Enjoy our Rush Candles this season - they are available now from our online shop www.folklor.ie - you can find the link in our bio.

Folklor’s Rush Lights are now available for 2024! This limited edition candle is hand crafted with a deep appreciation for the nature, tradition and ritual found here in beautiful Ireland. Each rush light is made using a very special natural wick - we pick rushes, dry them and prepare them to be used as wicks to burn 100% beeswax sourced directly from beekeepers, the caretakers of our precious honey bee.

We have created a beautiful gift box option this year which includes a hand painted ceramic burning dish from the talented sisters of in Glenties, and the most wonderful chocolate from Wild Irish collection, Dúlaman, which is 70% cacao and infused with dried gorse petals and seaweed.

Come and feel the power of nature, of our heritage and of the beauty of ritual. Rush Light candles and gift boxes are available to purchase now from our online shop at www.folklor.ie. You can find the link in our bio. 💛

Watching spring emerge slowly from the ground is the most exciting part of the year! As we cross the threshold between winter and spring, it is such a comfort to find little daisies and snowdrops pushing through the cold ground. The return of light, of energy, of life and growth - it brings great focus and clarity to our minds and souls.

As you witness all our little wild things awaken and welcome them back, allow our book Wild Things to guide you through the seasons, and the stories and wonders of the flowers, shrubs and trees that fill the spaces and corners of our beautiful island.

Do you have your copy of Wild Things yet? It is now available to purchase from Folklor’s online shop. We can’t wait to share the journey with you in the weeks and months ahead.

You can follow the link in our bio to www.folklor.ie.

Happy spring to you all! 💛

Folklor presents our annual W•I•N•T•E•R•I•N•G sale, offering 20% off our beeswax candle collection - all handmade in beautiful Donegal.

We love to winter - to feel the sharp cold on our face, to watch the roaring waves, to find blooming gorse on grey horizons, to notice nature slowly and gently returning after its period of rest. We love to take time with ourselves in our home - reflect, recover and restore. Wintering is a natural rhythm to life, so enjoy it with the pace that is just right for you. Light some beeswax candles, enjoy quiet evenings while they are here, and celebrate natural light as it steadily begins to lengthen the day.

Enjoy discounted beeswax candles until the end of January - we will be adding stock as our workshop is now back in production. Slow and steady work to start the year. Happy wintering everyone.

Sale runs until midnight January 31st. A 20% discount is offered on all orders and is applied automatically at checkout.

You will find link for our online shop in our bio - thank you x

Remembering this exciting collaboration today with .house using the most beautiful local wax from Horn Head beekeeper Ivan Stewart.

It was a dream to work with this stunning wax and with the Breac.House team. We loved working to design and make a bespoke mould to produce these candles - a big shout out to for their help in the mould making process 🪵 🕯️

We’re looking forward to more projects like this in the year ahead. Would you be interested in a specially designed beeswax candle for your business? Get in touch and let’s talk!
