Behind every candle there’s a way of doing things. At Cut Candles, ours is clear: slowly, by hand, and with care. We’re not a factory, and we have no wish to be one. We’re an artisan project that believes good things are made with time. In this article we’ll tell you who we are and how we work, so you know what’s behind every piece that arrives at your home.
Handmade, one at a time
Everything we make is crafted by hand. Each candle is melted, poured into its mold, left to set, carefully unmolded, and finished piece by piece. There are no assembly lines or large batches: there are hands, craft, and attention to detail. That’s why no two candles are exactly alike, and that small uniqueness is precisely what we love. Handmade things have a soul that the industrial can’t imitate.
In Mallorca, with Mediterranean calm
We work in Mallorca, and the island is part of how we do things. That Mediterranean calm, that love of work done well and without rushing, stays in every piece. We like to think our candles carry a little of the light and quiet of this place. And for anyone who loves the island, they’re also a way to take home a small piece of Mallorca, handmade.
Soy wax, because it matters
We choose to work with natural soy wax, plant-based and renewable, rather than paraffin. It burns more cleanly, tends to last longer, and its matte finish brings out the relief in our sculptural pieces. For us, a beautiful candle also has to be well made on the inside: choosing good materials is part of doing things honestly.
Made to order, tailored to you
We work to order and in small quantities. It may seem less convenient than keeping everything in stock, but it has a huge advantage: it lets us care for every order, adapt it to what you need, and make sure each piece arrives freshly made. Whether it’s a candle as a gift, a centerpiece, or hundreds of favors for an event, we prepare it just for you, with its colors, its cards, and its presentation.
Beauty with meaning
We want our candles to be beautiful, but we also want them to have a reason behind them. That’s why many of our pieces play with symbolism—flowers, hearts, tender figures—and are designed to accompany meaningful moments: a Christmas with family, a wedding, a christening, a small token of affection. We believe an object made with intention moves people more, and that’s what we look for in every design.
The small things, made with greatness
In the end, our philosophy fits into one idea: care for the small things. A well-defined relief, a color that matches, a card written with care, an order delivered on time. These are details that may not be obvious at first glance, but they make the difference between just another product and something made with love. That attention to the small things is our way of making candles, and the reason every piece arrives the way it does.
Thank you for being on the other side
An artisan project like ours exists thanks to those who value what’s made by hand. Every time you choose a Cut Candles candle for your home, your Christmas table, your wedding, or a gift, you support that way of doing things: slowly, with care, and from Mallorca. And to us, that means everything. If you’d like us to help you choose or prepare something special, we’d love to do it with you.

What drives us
Behind an artisan project there’s always something more than a product: there’s a way of understanding work and life. What drives us is the idea of creating beautiful, well-made things that accompany people’s meaningful moments. It thrills us to think that one of our candles will be on the table at a Christmas dinner, at a special wedding, or in the memory someone keeps of a happy day. That connection to moments that matter is what gives meaning to what we do.
That’s why we care so much about the details, even when they don’t always show. Because we know each piece isn’t just wax with a shape: it’s part of someone’s story, of a celebration, of a gesture of affection. And we treat every order with that awareness. Making candles, for us, is a way of taking part, in a small way, in people’s beautiful moments. And that’s a privilege we don’t take lightly.
