Candles by Cole

+ Bling Culture

 

— a curated lifestyle brand where cozy meets couture.

We blend hand-poured, luxury candles with bold, rhinestone-studded creations to help you elevate your space, your mood, and your personal style. Whether you're lighting a calming scent at home or sipping from a custom tumbler that sparkles, you're enjoying handcrafted pieces made with intention.


Our Story

Founded by Cole, a lifelong maker and creative entrepreneur, our brand began with a love for ambiance, scent, and expressive design. What started as a small candle-making passion has grown into a full sensory experience — fusing warmth and light with glam and shine.

With roots in Columbia, SC and a home base in Charlotte, NC, we’re proud to be a Black woman-owned business rooted in creativity, culture, and craftsmanship.


🕯 Candles by Cole

Our candles are all about setting a vibe. Each one is crafted in small batches using quality wax blends and sophisticated fragrance notes. Designed with luxe touches and seasonal inspiration, they’re perfect for gifting, decorating, or indulging in a little self-care.


💎 Bling Culture

Bling Culture is all sparkle, no apology. From rhinestone tumblers to customized accessories, every piece is handmade with precision and attitude. It’s our glam twist on everyday essentials — bold, fun, and built to stand out.


🌿 Our Mission

To design beautiful, meaningful products that inspire comfort, joy, and confidence — from the flicker of a candle to the glimmer of a tumbler.
