Olga Goose

Olga Goose is a Japanese candle label with a wonderfully strange starting point: the half woman, half goose villainess Cleopatra from the 1932 film "Freaks". The rituals carried out by that mystical figure are the driving force behind everything the label makes.

Each candle is completely hand made and hand painted, so the results are original and full of personality and charm. Nothing about them feels mass produced.

The maker's own line sums up the spirit: "I hope you can draw an invisible force out of yourself with it. With love and curse!" It's a good fit for anyone who likes a home object with a bit of mischief and a story behind it, rather than a plain pillar on the shelf.
