About Us

The story of how
Gentle Flame came to be.

Gentle Flame began as a quiet hobby...

"Pouring candles at night and seeing them ready by morning became a small joy in my day.


This new ritual gave me something simple yet meaningful. It became a reason to look ahead and a spark of joy to hold on to."

(Fig. 1) This was one of the first candles Kimi ever made in 2024.

What kept me going was sharing those
candles with people I cared about & seeing
how much they loved them.

"That feeling of connection grew into Gentle Flame, a brand built on the belief that even small rituals can bring light back into our lives.

The name 'Gentle Flame' came to me one night while laying in bed with all the lights off except for one candle."

(Fig. 3) The magic started in Kimi's LA apartment.

(Fig. 4-6) Kimi's studio assistant Juniper working hard to help Kimi (or hardly working)...

My hope is that these candles
do the same for you.

"May each Gentle Flame bring a little warmth, a little beauty, and a reminder that joy often starts in the smallest of moments."

Sincerely,

Kimi (AngelsKimi)
Creator of Gentle Flame
