We wanted to take a moment to share something that matters to us, because we know it might matter to you too.
You may have noticed that our candles look a little different than they used to. The glass vessel we had used since the inception of Wndrmade was recently discontinued without warning, and so we had no other choice but to adapt. We spent months searching for a replacement that felt right, a structure that reflected the same quality, weight, and aesthetic fitting of the care and craft we put into our brand.
And so, after some stop-gaps and flops, we finally found a vessel that we love. A rocks glass with exceptional clarity, elegance, consistency, and most importantly, availability. While it is slightly smaller in size from our previous glass, holding about one ounce less volume than before, it still delivers the same beautifully balanced aromatic throw while maintaining a similar burn time to its larger predecessor.
Now, if you're a returning customer, you may be wondering why this new 7oz candle is the same price as the older 8oz candle that it's replacing... allow us to provide some context:
Alongside the change in vessel and all of the packaging that goes along with it, the cost of our ingredients has continued to rise. Many essential oils, which are at the heart of every product we make, have increased in cost by more than twenty percent over this past year alone, and so we had a choice to make. We could raise our prices significantly to cover the rising cost of raw materials, or we could alter the formulas. Instead, we chose to keep everything inside the vessel exactly the same. We stayed true to the integrity of our ingredients and absorbed as much of the cost as we could so that we would not have to increase prices across our entire product range.
We know that even small changes can be felt, especially by those who have supported us from the beginning. That is why we want to be transparent with you about this update.
If you ever have questions, thoughts, or feedback, we hope you will reach out. We are so grateful to share this journey with you and deeply appreciate your continued support.
With gratitude,
Stephen and Alice
