Welcome to Aggie and I! I’m Suzanne, the founder, maker, and wearer of many hats behind our cosy little candle company based at home in beautiful Co Down, Northern Ireland, just 40 minutes from Belfast. Let me take you on a journey through our story, our products, and what sets us apart in the world of handcrafted soy candles.
Our Story
In 2020, fueled by a passion for creating quality soy candles, I embarked on a quest to find the finest soy wax and fragrance oils. After much dedication and meticulous research, Aggie and I was born. Starting small, we initially shared our creations with friends and family through social media channels like Facebook. With growing demand and encouragement, we gradually expanded to serve a handful of wholesale customers.
Evolution
The turning point came in 2021 when we launched our own website, marking a significant milestone in our journey. As a one-person operation (with occasional assistance from my daughter), I handle everything from crafting our products to managing social media, photography, accounting, web design, and lots more, aside a full time job. It's a labor of love that continues to evolve and inspire me every day.
In 2022, Aggie and I underwent an exciting makeover, thanks to the collaboration with Julie Chalmers who perfectly captured our vision and brought it to life through stunning graphic design of our packaging and branding. This transformation has been instrumental in shaping our identity and enhancing the overall experience for our customers.
Our Products
At Aggie and I, we take pride in handcrafting each candle, diffuser and wax melt with care and attention to detail. Our signature soy candles and diffusers are meticulously blended using the finest ingredients, ensuring a clean, long-lasting burn and captivating aromas that infuse any space with warmth and serenity.
As part of our commitment to sustainability and reducing waste, we' were thrilled to introduce our hand-poured soy candle refills. Candle refills offer a more eco-friendly option for our customers, allowing you to enjoy our stunning scents while minimizing environmental impact. Simply refill your favorite containers with our premium soy wax candle refill and continue to indulge in the cosy ambiance our candles provide.
But we"re not just about making homes cosy, we're about creating moments and memories. That's why we're excited to introduce new and exciting products to our range, including personalised mini candle wedding favours, perfect for adding a touch of charm to your wedding day
Our Mission
Based in the heart of Northern Ireland, we are passionate about supporting local artisans and small businesses. We're always on the lookout for independently owned shops that share our values and ethos to stock our products.
