ILHA

The name "Ilha" comes from founder Michelle Hsu's parents’ native country of Taiwan. When Portuguese sailors came upon the island in the 1500s, they named it “Ilha Formosa” which means “beautiful island”. Michelle wanted to pay homage to her heritage while connecting it to where she lives now, New York City, another beautiful island. The candles are handcrafted and hand-poured in small batches with cotton wicks, natural soy wax and toxin free fragrances.
