When I first walked into this space, I knew it had something I could not recreate from scratch.

There was history in the brick, character in the details, and a feeling that this little corner of Central Avenue had already held so many stories. I did not want to erase that. I wanted to build on it.

I had a vision for Kindle & Bloom to feel coastal, elevated, airy, and personal, but I also knew I needed help bringing that vision to life. Studio Miles helped me turn all the ideas in my head into a space that feels even more like Kindle & Bloom than I imagined. Together, we found ways to keep the charm of the building while adding the soft blue doors, warm wood, brass details, natural textures, and open shelves that make it feel like ours.

I wanted the experience to feel special from the moment you walk through the door. I wanted you to take your time smelling every candle, find the fragrance that feels most like you or your home, and leave with something that feels considered all the way down to the bag and tissue paper in your hands.

And then there is the studio.

Kindle & Bloom began at my kitchen table. It was me making candles, learning as I went, and hoping the things I made would find their way into other people’s homes. That is why I wanted my studio to feel like it belonged in a home. It is where this business began, and it is still where I spend so much of my time creating, pouring, labeling, packing, and dreaming up what comes next.

The windows into my studio were already here, and I was immediately drawn to the idea of letting you be part of what I do. Through them, you can see where your products are made and experience a small piece of the process behind creating them for you.

There is something really special about standing in this space now and thinking about where it started. What began at my kitchen table now has a home of its own, and somehow, this old building feels like it was waiting for us all along.

I would love to introduce myself to all the new faces here.

I’m Jess, the founder of Kindle & Bloom. People often stop in and ask, “What is this place?” or “What does Kindle & Bloom mean?” And honestly, I love that question because the name holds so much of why I started.

Kindle is the spark. The feeling that will not leave you alone. The idea you keep returning to because something in you knows it is worth following. For me, that has always been scent. I love how fragrance can change the feel of a room, make an ordinary moment feel special, or become part of the little rituals you look forward to each day. I especially love the way someone’s face lights up when they smell something that speaks to them, or how one puff of room spray can make your home feel pulled together.

That spark led me to candles, then room sprays, then this shop.

Bloom is what happens when you trust the spark enough to follow it. It is the beautiful, sometimes messy, very real process of becoming. Of taking one small idea and giving it room to grow into something you never could have fully pictured at the beginning.

Kindle & Bloom is a place to find elevated scents, thoughtful things for your home, and something that feels worth bringing home with you.

I hope you’ll stop by and see us in the store soon. And before long, I hope you’ll pull up a chair, create your own candle, and make a memory here with us. Hugs, Jess

This one needed a before and after.

It’s hard to believe this is the same space we walked into just a few months ago. We could see the potential then, but watching it become Kindle & Bloom has been something else entirely.

Every detail was chosen with intention, and so much work happened between these two clips.

From an empty storefront to our candle studio on Central Ave. Still can’t quite believe we get to call this ours.

Spiced Brioche is back!

Rich brioche, spiced praline, warm cinnamon, and oak wood come together in a fragrance that feels like fall baking with a more refined point of view.

It is warm, rich, and softly sweet, with just enough depth to make you want to light it long after the first burn.

Available now at Kindle & Bloom.

The last week has been one we will hold onto for a very long time.

What started with an idea, a love for fragrance, and a lot of late nights is now a real place, filled with people discovering their new favorite scent, finding gifts to take home, and making memories inside a space we worked hard to bring to life.

Thank you to every person who came through our doors, shared a kind word, brought a friend, or has supported Kindle & Bloom along the way. Seeing the store filled with all of you was something we will never forget.

We are so excited for everything still ahead and for all the new faces we will get to welcome through the doors.

Come see us at 131 Central Avenue in historic Summerville.

Last night was everything I hoped our soft opening would be. 💙😭

The store was full, the energy was incredible, and I was genuinely blown away by how many of you came to celebrate with us. At one point I just looked around and thought, this is actually happening.

If I could bottle the way I felt last night, I would. It was just SO much fun. Thank you for showing up for Kindle & Bloom in such a big way.

And now… GRAND OPENING! ✨ And boy do we have some fun things in store for you. Mimosas, swag bags, giveaways and a few other surprises we’re saving for tomorrow.

I seriously cannot wait to host you!

A little sneak peek inside the new Kindle & Bloom. 💙

From the first time I walked into this space, I saw a diamond. I saw what it could be, and I wanted to honor that potential by creating something that respected the history and character of the building while still making it completely our own.

And while the vision was mine, I definitely had some pretty incredible help bringing it to life along the way with the very talented Chanel | Interior Design (Charleston) who brought everything I asked for to life. So many hands, ideas and hours went into making this space what it is today, and I’m incredibly grateful for every one of them. Especially Sean Heald and GDL Renovations.

We kept the charm, brought pieces of the past back to life, and layered in everything that feels like Kindle & Bloom.

Seeing it all come together is pretty surreal.

September 19th. We can’t wait to welcome you in. ✨
