Our Story

Oaxaca’s Soul

Scenes from the vibrant Soledad neighborhood and our artisanal candle-making.

Three candles in minimalist white containers are placed on a bed with a floral-patterned quilt and a plain white pillow. The candle labels display the brand 'Clare Makes' along with colorful abstract designs and text describing scents.
A lit scented candle in a brown glass jar with a label reading 'Verso L’Alto' is placed on a textured beige surface. Fresh green foliage is scattered around the candle, and a black metal lid and wick trimmer are positioned nearby.
Aromatic candles in green and dark brown jars are placed on a dotted fabric surface. Pine cones and other natural elements surround the candles, contributing to a cozy, forest-like setting. A small evergreen branch is also visible in the background, adding to the rustic feel.
A collection of lit devotional candles arranged in rows inside a dimly lit space. One candle in particular is highlighted with an image of the Virgin Mary and Spanish text on its glass. The background features soft, warm light from the candles casting a gentle glow.
