Step into a world where time stands still, and the air is heavy with the secrets of forgotten empires. The Amber Candle transports you to the grand corridors of an ancient fort perched on a distant hillside, where the scent of oud once mingled with the rich aroma of tobacco and the earthy allure of patchouli. These intoxicating notes have been hand-blended to recreate the hedonistic grandeur of a time long gone—an olfactory journey through the hidden luxuries of a land far, far away.
Imagine the quiet stillness of unfurled chiqs waiting for a breeze to stir them to life, releasing their fragrant whispers into the warm air. This is more than a candle—it is a rendezvous with the past, a gateway to a magical, far-off place, where every flicker of the flame draws you deeper into its exotic embrace.
- Fragrance notes: Oud, patchouli, and tobacco intertwine to create a scent that is earthy, spicy, and seductively heady.
- Handcrafted luxury: Hand-poured by master artisans in small batches, this candle is a true piece of India’s olfactory heritage.
- Boho-luxe design: Encased in a gold-coloured glass vessel, this candle is as much a piece of art as it is a sensory experience.
- Made from 100% soy wax: A clean, slow burn that allows the decadent fragrance to linger long after the flame has been extinguished.
Part of the "A Day in the Life of India" collection from boutique Mumbai brand 'Art-Chives', this candle captures the essence of India’s ancient fragrance-making traditions, wrapped in the luxurious aura of artisanal craftsmanship. Light the Amber Candle, and let its sumptuous scent transport you to a world of exotic indulgence and quiet, magical grandeur.
We hope that our products really do last you a lifetime, but it's also important to remember that they are made entirely by hand and therefore require the care and respect they fully deserve, if they are to stand the test of time.
Think of them as investment pieces and treat them with real love and care, after all: they are lovingly made artisan items from India. There's no fast, disposable fashion here.
Some Helpful Reminders
Block Print Bedding:
- only ever wash gently by hand, or on a very cool, short cycle with like colours in the machine. Cotton voile is a thin fabric that needs to be washed delicately.
- never tumble dry and avoid using harsh chemicals.
- a good steam can help with creases!
- neon block print fabrics are at risk of running if left damp for too long, so do take care.
Quilted Bags & Accessories:
- please don't overload our handmade bags & wash bags, if you wish to preserve the longevity of the straps and zips.
- spot cleaning is fine and tote bags can benefit from a short, cool wash if needed with like colours. Please line dry and be aware that, whilst our inks are colour fast, neon dyes may transfer when wet, so dry with care.
- take care not to soak our block printed bags and accessories, as the neon colours can transfer if not dried quickly.
Enamelware:
- chips and bumps are normal; please don't expect machine made perfection!
- wash in cool, soapy water only and do not put in the dishwasher or expose to extreme heat.
Mother of Pearl & Bone Inlay:
- these handmade boxes and trays are sturdy but fragile; they will need to be handled with real care.
Just remember: a little care and love goes a long way with all of our beautiful handmade products.
Ethical | Bespoke | Handmade
All of our bespoke bedding and quilted accessories are designed in Rutland, but made entirely by hand in India; our team of artisans in Jaipur hand-block the fabric, stitch each item slowly by hand and finish our cosy quilts with the beautiful and delicate ‘running stitch’ that gives your block print bedding that gorgeous circular surface pattern. We only make things in small batches so, when they’ve sold out, it may take us some time to get more in stock; in fact, each batch is completely unique, and our product designs are constantly evolving.
As with all handmade products and block print bedding, please expect some variation in stitching and occasional splashes of ink on the hand-blocked fabric from the intricate printing process are perfectly normal. In fact, these are wonderful reminders that your items are slowly and ethically made by people in artisan communities, rather than simply run off a conveyor belt in a factory; no two items can ever be the same, which is what makes them so unique and one-of-a-kind.
There is beauty in the imperfection; it is what gives them all such personality and charm. Every single piece tells a story, and we hope you will be inspired by the magical prints and their thought-provoking heritage.
Please read our full ‘How it’s Made’ section for more information on block printing and our creative team in Jaipur, India.
🌍 With sustainability being so important to us all these days (and rightly so), Bombaby is proud to bring you these ethically sourced and slowly made block print textiles; every pattern has been painstakingly block printed and our quilted accessories are sewn entirely by hand using traditional methods. No fast fashion here!
🧵 Our team of skilled artisans in Jaipur have lovingly created these bespoke accessories for you in small, exclusive batches; take pleasure in the fact that they haven't been created in their thousands on a factory conveyor belt!
🎨 Every single product is entirely unique with it's quirks and variations in details; it's precisely what makes them so special! We don't launch new collections each season; we use up the materials we already have and print all of our fabric to order to minimise waste.
💥 Leave a lasting legacy. 1 quilt = 1 tree planted. Read more about the project on our sustainability page.
