A Rather Guilty Pleasure You Can Actually Light

Picture this: you've just bitten into a warm pain au chocolat, butter flaking everywhere, that decadent chocolate centre melting on your tongue. Now imagine that exact moment captured in candle form, minus the crumbs on your sofa. Our handmade soy wax candle does precisely that, wrapping your home in the irresistible aroma of buttery dough, dark chocolate, and just a whisper of vanilla. It's rather splendid, if we do say so ourselves.

Why Choose Our Pain au Chocolat Candle

Hand poured in the UK in small batches: Each one made with genuine care, not mass-produced in some distant warehouse
Pure soy wax: Burns cleaner, lasts longer, and won't leave your conscience feeling heavy
Plastic free packaging: Because the planet deserves better than another box destined for recycling limbo
A tree planted with every order: Your cosy moment contributes to actual forests growing somewhere
Paraben and phthalate free: Nothing nasty lurking in here, just proper scent done properly
Completely vegan friendly: All the luxury, none of the animal products

Product Details

Size and capacity: Large glass jar, 30cl, containing approximately 220g of wax. Total product weight approximately 560g

How to Get the Most From Your Candle

Trim the wick to 5mm before lighting. On the first burn, allow the melt pool to reach the edge of the jar before extinguishing, which prevents tunnelling. Subsequent burns should run no longer than 4 hours. Keep the candle free from foreign materials and only burn on a level, fire resistant surface. Never leave a burning candle unattended, and keep away from draughts, children, and pets.

THE RATHER IMPORTANT BITS

This rather lovely piece ships directly from our brand partner - we work with independent brands who are absolutely brilliant and work frightfully hard to create beautiful things.

SHIPPING DESTINATIONS
Now, here's the thing - our wonderful brand partners ship to lots of different places, but not all of them can ship worldwide.

Some are brilliant at international shipping, others prefer to keep things closer to home.

At checkout, you'll see exactly where this particular brand can send your goodies.

We're terribly sorry, but shipping costs do vary rather wildly depending on where you are in the world. The exact figures pop up at checkout - no nasty surprises!

RETURNS

You have 14 days to return items.

Now, we absolutely adore our brand partners - they work incredibly hard and we do try to support them as much as we possibly can. So I'm rather afraid we have to pass the return postage costs back to you. Frightfully sorry about that!

🌍 PLEASE CHOOSE THOUGHTFULLY:

Ordering multiple sizes to try at home is rather hard on our planet and makes things jolly difficult for these brilliant independent creators.

We Have Lots More Like This.........

Hello, we are Sostter....

Sostter began, as all good ideas do, with a lively conversation and a shared sense of frustration. Why had the world of independent design become so serious, so samey, so… beige? Where was the spark, the imagination, the sheer joy of discovering something that made you stop and stare?

We dreamt of a marketplace that celebrated difference — where curious minds could explore a world of independent brands, design-led makers, and thoughtful artisans. A space that felt exciting, human, and beautifully imperfect.

Today, Sostter brings together remarkable people and their creations — from London to Lausanne, Brooklyn to Berlin — uniting makers and discoverers through craftsmanship, creativity, and conscience. Every object tells a story, and every purchase supports an independent brand doing things differently.

This is just the beginning. But enough about us — step inside, explore our world, and see what catches your imagination.
