The Story of Yeelen

The Creative Soul Behind Yeelen Candles

Hi! I'm Mirela, the mind and heart behind Yeelen handmade candles. I live immersed in the tranquility of the Apulian countryside , surrounded by centuries-old olive trees, my beloved dogs and cats, and an infinite passion for nature. Here, between moments of quiet and reflection, I find inspiration to create something authentic and special.

My history with candles has its roots in childhood , when my grandmother took me to church. The scent of wax and the magic of light ignited a passion in me that has now become a true art.

Four years ago, life put me to the test, I faced and overcame cancer. During that time, I discovered in the creation of candles a refuge and a source of rebirth . One more reason to embrace sustainability.
