How it started

Retro Bloom was born out of a love for all things retro, cool, and cosy, and a dream to create something that adds some colour to people's lives. I’ve been making candles for over 10 years now, ever since I picked it up as a hobby during my university days. I started hand-pouring candles from my kitchen, experimenting with soy wax, bold scents, and upcycled paint tins. What started as a hobby quickly became a full-blown passion project - one fuelled by late nights, all-day markets and an ever-growing shelf of wax melts.

As someone who’s always loved creating and curating, I wanted to make products that felt fun but had a purpose. Now, with a growing collection of candles, wax melts, and handmade stone coasters, we’re proud to bring you pieces that brighten up your space in more ways than one.

Our Values

🕯️ Handmade with Heart
Small-batch, hands-on, and full of personality. Each piece is designed with love, creativity, and just the right amount of chaos.

🌱 Consciously Crafted
From soy wax to vegan inks, phthalate-free fragrance oils, and reusable packaging, everything is made with care for the planet.

🌈 Fun & Bold
Bright colours, retro shapes, and playful scents - our products are made to stand out and lift your mood, even before you light the wick.

Thanks for being here and supporting a small business with a big personality. Whether you’re after a signature scent, a funky gift, or just something to brighten your day, we’ve got you.

Stay groovy ✌️
