Basra Candle | Tuberose, Musk & Amber
Let the Basra Candle take you on a fragrant journey back to a time when exotic flowers and alluring spices traversed continents, captivating hearts and minds along the way. A native of Central America, the intoxicating tuberose flower embarked on its journey across the seas in the 15th century, spreading its ethereal white bouquet to the distant lands of India and Europe. Today, the Basra Candle reawakens this timeless scent, blending tuberose’s hypnotic allure with the sensual warmth of amber and the irresistible charisma of musk.
Imagine the air filled with the sweet, lingering fragrance of tuberose, as its pearly blossoms release a heady perfume that has enchanted for centuries. Paired with amber's luxurious depth and musk’s soft, lingering embrace, the Basra Candle transforms any room into a space of pure, seductive indulgence. With every flicker, you’re not just lighting a candle—you’re summoning a sensory experience that spans centuries and continents.

Ethical | Bespoke | Handmade
Every Bombaby piece is a labour of love, not mass production. Designed in Rutland and handcrafted in Jaipur, our bespoke block print bedding and quilted accessories take 4–6 weeks to create - from hand-blocking and stitching, to quilting and their voyage from India to the UK.
Each fabric is printed to order by skilled artisans using the centuries-old technique of hand block printing - an intricate process where wooden blocks are hand-carved, dipped in natural dyes, and carefully pressed onto fabric, layer by layer. Because of this, you may notice small smudges, ink splashes, or slight variations in the print - these are not flaws, but the hallmarks of true craftsmanship.
To reduce waste, we also use surplus fabrics for linings, piping, and trims - so colours and patterns may vary slightly from batch to batch. This only adds to the bespoke, one-of-a-kind nature of our designs.
Unlike factory-made textiles, no two pieces are ever identical, making your item truly unique. These handcrafted details are a badge of authenticity, celebrating slow fashion, tradition, and artistry.
We also print to order to minimise waste and plant a tree for every purchase, helping to offset emissions.
