About
Seventh + Shire is a home fragrance company that specializes in scented wooden wick candles. All candles are made with vegan coconut soy wax and hand-poured in Richmond, Virginia. Our six scents range from citrus to aromatic to floral to woody, so there is something for everyone.
All of the candles are hand-poured by me in Richmond, VA. I use 100% natural coconut soy wax and wooden wicks sourced from the United States via the Forest Stewardship Council, a non-profit organization committed to protecting natural forests. Each fragrance has a story behind it, which I will share soon, and the Signature Collection has something for everyone.

Manager
My name is Alexandria (Alex) Brown, and building brands I believe in is my passion. Seventh + Shire was founded in January 2021 in my childhood home. Although I am originally from Battle Creek, Michigan, I have spent most of my life in Richmond, Virginia. After studying Economics and Accounting at Randolph-Macon College, I completed a Masters and then an MBA in London, England. Upon returning to the States, I pursued marketing with a heavy emphasis on digital branding. I didn't fully realize my passion for candles until I participated in a candle-making workshop during a trip to Portland, Oregon. I left that experience wanting to know more about the art and science behind candles. After months of research, I started making candles, and nine months after that trip, Seventh + Shire launched. Now I fuse my love for branding and beautiful aromas to create a sophisticated experience.
