About Echobana

See Also: Our process

Echobana's story begins in 1996 with two friends making candles in a garage in San Francisco, CA. Their creative spirit started what is now an international E-commerce company based in Denver, CO. Although we've grown as a company, the quality of our beautifully handcrafted, lightly scented, candles haven't been sacrificed. Our passion for making one-of-a-kind custom candles results in a dream come true, perfect candles for the perfect room or event. Echobana candles are made entirely by hand with only the best all natural ingredients. We hope you cherish them as much as we enjoy making them.

Echobana sells a broad selection of handmade pillar candles, votive candles, dinner candles, seasonal candles and candle accessories. Our collaboration with Quarry Slate has established a line of perfect accents to the eclectic environments in which our candles are enjoyed. Echobana Candles sells to consumers direct via our secure on-line store, to wholesale candle purchasers, private label customers, and to the finest retail art galleries and gift and home decor stores throughout the world.

Our Process

	From stirring color into the highest food-grade paraffin wax to blending in scents of essential and natural oils, every phase of our process is completed by hand.
We use all-cotton, lead-free wicks for a clean, non-smoking candle. By hand-pulling each wick, we're able to ensure it is exactly centered to lengthen the burning life of the candle.
	Delicate timing and the gentle touch of hand-pouring each candle achieves the distinctive frosted and crackled finish our candles have become known for.
After cutting away the mold to unveil each candle, every pillar, votive, and dinner candle is carefully hand-cleaned and inspected.
	To complete the process of creating a candle of exceptional characteristics, we label each candle by hand.
We rigorously test our candles so that our customers have the assurance of receiving a safe and clean burning, delicately scented candle.
