Beginning the Next Chapter

Why We're Launching Through Kickstarter

After building Candle Hut Barbados as a family-run business in Barbados, Michael Franco is establishing small-batch production in Orlando, Florida.

Kickstarter allows the collection to be introduced directly to early supporters while preparing production around real demand. Backers become part of the next chapter of a family craft developed over decades.
