Candle Collaboration
We undertook our first ever (!) collaboration with the incredible Amanda Jane from Gem and Stone. We met Amanda at the launch shoot for Ailia Bottle, where she was busy styling everyone and helping them to look even more gorgeous. After chatting, we were amazed with Amanda’s creativity and enthusiasm for making beautiful, meaningful things. It wasn't long before we realised that Amanda was the perfect partner for a project we had been dreaming of: creating a custom candle that not only smelled divine but also held a deeper significance. Our goal was to craft a candle that embodied the spirit of endurance and beauty, a tribute to the incredible strength of endometriosis warriors around the world. This was a cause close to both our hearts, and we knew we had to make it happen.
Amanda’s expertise in design and her keen sense of aesthetics were instrumental in bringing our vision to life. We wanted the candle to be more than just a source of light and fragrance; it needed to tell a story, the story of resilience, hope, and unity among those battling endometriosis. We chose a scent that was both uplifting and comforting, a blend of jasmine, sandalwood, and a hint of citrus, designed to bring a sense of peace and wellbeing into any space.
The color was just as important as the scent. We opted for shades of orange and yellow that not only represents the color of the endometriosis awareness ribbon but also resonates with the brand colors of Endo Articles. The final design was a beautiful, minimalistic piece that would fit perfectly into any home, serving as a beacon of hope and a constant reminder of the strength that endo warriors carry with them every day.
But we wanted to do more than just create a beautiful product; we wanted to make a tangible difference. Thus, Amanda generously donated 10% of all profits from the candle sales directly to our Care and Comfort packs Program. These packs are specially designed to provide support and comfort to young people undergoing endometriosis treatment or surgery, filled with items to aid in their recovery and wellbeing.
Thanks to the incredible support from our community and the dedication of Amanda and our team, we were able to provide approximately 30 Care and Comfort packs for free to those in need. It was a humbling experience to see the impact of our collective efforts, and the feedback from the recipients of these packs has been overwhelmingly positive. They've shared stories of how these small gestures of support have made significant differences in their healing journeys, reminding us of the power of community and compassion.
This collaboration with Amanda Jane from Gem and Stone was not just a project for us; it was a mission, a way to give back, and a new avenue to support a cause that affects so many. It’s been a journey of learning, growth, and most importantly, of making a difference. We are incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved together and are grateful to everyone who supported this initiative. Here's to more collaborations that bring light, comfort, and hope to those who need it most.
