Why Our Business is Important: The Story of Rhea London

At Rhea London, we believe that luxury should be accessible, sustainable, and deeply meaningful. We are an affordable luxury homeware and candle brand with a focus on artisanal craftsmanship, sustainability, and exclusivity. Our mission goes beyond simply creating beautiful products—we aim to illuminate homes with elegance while supporting small artisan communities around the world.

The Heart of Rhea London: Craftsmanship and Sustainability

Our journey began with a simple yet powerful idea: to create handcrafted homeware and candles that not only bring luxury into homes but also uphold the values of sustainability and artisanal quality. We collaborate with a diverse range of artists and artisans, ensuring that every product we offer is a unique piece of art, crafted with care and attention to detail.

Our candles are crafted from natural, sustainable materials, reflecting our dedication to environmental preservation. Each scent is thoughtfully designed to create a luxurious atmosphere, turning any space into a serene retreat. What makes us unique is our commitment to offering affordable luxury, enabling more people to enjoy high-quality, handcrafted products. Additionally, all our candle scents are limited editions, with new fragrances introduced every few months, ensuring that there’s always a fresh and exclusive scent to discover.

Supporting Artists in War-Torn Regions: A Mission Close to Our Hearts
In recent years, our mission has expanded to include a cause that is deeply personal to us: supporting artists living in war-torn countries. We understand the struggles they face, as some of us have loved ones in these regions, and others have family members who are refugees. This connection has driven us to collaborate with these artists on our upcoming collections.

These collections will be exclusive and limited in quantity, handcrafted by artists, artisans, and craftsmen who continue to create despite working under extreme conditions, such as under fire and without electricity.

By purchasing from these collections, you are not just buying a candle or a piece of homeware; you are supporting resilience, creativity, and hope in the face of adversity.

The 'Burn to Black' and 'White Hot' Candle Collections: A Story of Contrast
Our 'Burn to Black' Candle Collection is a powerful statement, representing the harsh realities and profound challenges faced during times of conflict. The deep, dark hue of these candles symbolises the intensity of war and the resilience required to endure it. Each candle is a tribute to the strength and determination of those living and creating in conflict zones.

In contrast, our 'White Hot' Candle Collection embodies the purity and hope of peace. The pristine white wax represents new beginnings and the promise of a brighter future. These candles are crafted from natural, sustainable materials, offering a serene, calming presence in your home. Together, these collections tell a compelling story of the struggles of war and the tranquillity of peace, urging us to support those in need and cherish moments of calm.

Who We Are: A Passionate Team with a Purpose
We are a small, dedicated team of women with over 20 years of corporate business experience. Our love for art and our desire to create a business that makes a difference in the world led us to start Rhea London. This venture is not just a business for us; it’s a labour of love, built from the ground up with our savings, passion, and a deep commitment to meaningful causes.

We understand the pain of war and displacement on a personal level, and this fuels our drive to support others through our work. Every purchase, every tip, and every kind word from our customers helps us contribute to more charities and expand our collections. Your support means the world to us, and together, we can make a meaningful impact in the lives of those in need.

Our Commitment to Charity

A portion of the profits from all our collections is donated to charities that support civilians living in conflict zones and refugees. The remaining profits are reinvested into developing new, exclusive homeware collections, handcrafted by artists in war-torn regions. As a small team of women, we are committed to consistently supporting charities that empower girls and women, helping to uplift and inspire future generations.
