Wick & Tallow Family & Friends Party

Posted on December 09, 2013 by Wick & Tallow

Wednesday 4th December saw friends and family of Wick & Tallow descend on the London showroom for an evening of candles, cupcakes and cocktails! It was a brilliant evening that allowed us to say thank you to everyone who has supported us in one way or another to reach our launch. Cocktails were mixed in house by our (nearly) resident Dane, Alex Rykkje, served in wax pouring jugs to great amusement, and cupcakes were supplied by the incredibly talented Ella Prichard of Sugarella Cakes, with icing to match each of the Wick & Tallow candles in the current range. Bold colours were definitely the theme of the night, particularly as the cocktails were bright pink and there were plenty of brightly coloured balloons to be found, some of which are still on the ceiling!

Twitter and Instagram certainly got a lot of attention as everyone wanted to snap their cupcakes with their candles before being unable to hold back any longer. One man we spoke to had already had five cupcakes before he had even managed to find a drink! It was really lovely to see so many familiar faces (and some new ones too!) and get such incredible feedback about our products. It may have been the first Wick & Tallow party but we very much doubt that it'll be the last. Perhaps it's time to start planning our summer already...

Wick & Tallow now available from The shop at Bluebird

Posted on November 27, 2013 by Tom Malcolm Green

We are extremely pleased to announce that from today, Wick & Tallow’s entire range of luxury scented candles are available to buy from one of our favourite shops, The shop at Bluebird, on London’s iconic King’s Road.

 

The shop at Bluebird, a favourite with celebrities and trend setters such as David and Victoria Beckham and Tinie Tempah is well known for stocking pioneering and exciting labels with a particular focus on high end design and fashion. Wick & Tallow’s luxury scented candles fit in perfectly with The shop at Bluebird’s design philosophy and as an emerging British brand.

 

James Malcolm Green, cofounder of Wick & Tallow, commented, “this is a phenomenal opportunity for us and we’re tremendously excited that our candles are now stocked in one of London’s greatest design outlets in the heart of Chelsea”.

For anyone passing The shop at Bluebird we would definitely urge you to go and have a browse. They offer a brilliant selection of products and you will have absolutely no problem kick starting your Christmas shopping. Plus you can grab a coffee or lunch at the same time making the whole experience extremely civilised. You might even pick up a candle or two at the same time!

PopUp Piccadilly goes live!

Posted on November 06, 2013 by Wick & Tallow

It's been a busy couple of days since we were asked to take part in PopUp Piccadilly, however, our store is now all set up and looking great! We have had an amazing day working with some incredible people who have been helping out with visual merchandising, bringing a wealth of experience from the retail world including department stores such as John Lewis and Selfridges. It's an eye catching set up, particularly when you see it in the flesh surrounded by all the other wares being sold by the companies we're sharing the space with. There's a great mix of products carefully selected by the PopUp Britain organisers, which together make for a fantastic shop to help you with your Christmas shopping! 

 

 

The doors open tomorrow (Thursday) from 10am and we will be trading daily (including the weekend) until the end of opening hours on Wednesday 13th November. If you haven't had the opportunity to come and see our candles and experience the scents yet then this is it!

We very much look forward to seeing you there and hope you'll leave with some great Christmas presents!
