We want to bring the past to life through inspiration and aspiration.

Peering into years gone by gives us a sense of how life was and the chance to journey back, albeit briefly. Nostalgia is the feeling of connecting to the past with fondness and keeping a little of its magic alive.

All our candles are natural plant wax paired with essential oils or a fine fragrance. Unwrap the past with a timeless scent. We have chosen furniture and lifestyle items that offer vintage glamour and are beautifully crafted. In addition, we will be sourcing wonderful antique and period pieces.

Our story began in 2015 when our founder, Lena Hills, started creating her very candle range to compliment her vintage-style interiors and her love of fine fragrance and home scenting. Having always been inspired by her travels to Paris and the architecture of the belle epoque era. 1889 was the year chosen as it marked the world fair in Paris, which opened with the inauguration of the Eiffel tower. Interestingly her home town of Tunbridge Wells also became a borough that same year.

The online emporium reflects our own taste and philosophy, which we want to share with you.
